First of all, you must know if the ppp connection up. /sbin/ifconfig
will tell you this. If you just run it with no arguments, it will say
something like this :

eth0      Lien encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:40:05:67:2C:7C  
          inet adr:192.168.1.1  Bcast:192.168.1.255  Masque:255.255.255.0
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          Paquets Reçus:1476 erreurs:0 jetés:0 débordements:0 trames:0
          Paquets transmis:1312 erreurs:0 jetés:0 débordements:0 carrier:0

lo        Lien encap:Boucle locale  
          inet adr:127.0.0.1  Masque:255.0.0.0
          UP LOOPBACK RUNNING  MTU:3924  Metric:1
          Paquets Reçus:4659 erreurs:0 jetés:0 débordements:0 trames:0
          Paquets transmis:4659 erreurs:0 jetés:0 débordements:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 lg file transmission:0 

It says that I have two network interfaces available : ethernet(eth0),
and loopback(lo). If your ppp connection if available, you'll have a
ppp0 interface.
