No. Userland ppp(8) has an almost identical mechanism using the
/etc/ppp/ppp.linkup and /etc/ppp/ppp.linkdown files to trigger actions
on change of state of the ppp link. The syntax is much the same as
the ppp.conf file, but you probably want something like this in
/etc/ppp/ppp.linkup:
papchap:
add! 123.45.67.89/24 HISADDR
The ppp(8) man page and the many excellent examples in
/usr/share/examples/ppp will get you started.
Plus I'd take issue with the characterisation of kernel space pppd as
the "real" PPP. My experience has been that userland ppp(8) is
considered the way to go for most normal uses, and that it is more
actively maintained than the kernel pppd.
Cheers,
Matthew
