Out of curiosity, does Win95 work for you without scripting?

Anyway, try using ip-up and ip-down for logging.  Our machines aer set up
to syslog to a master log machine.  The ip-up script just does a "logger"
command to log the info we want.  ip-up gets passed ip address, ppp
interface, etc.  It also makes debugging a connection better, since it
doesn't execute ip-up until after the interface is ready to send/receive
packets.

Also, I think the newest pppd (in -stable) logs the amount of time pppd
was used to syslog.  That may do close enough to what you want without any
hassle.

My opinions are mine, damnit!  PERnet can't have them!
