Either I've missed something here, or the existence of "Local IP number"
as param $4 to ip-up allows us to reduce this to something like:

<snip>
#!/bin/bash

DATE=`date +\"%d/%m/%y\"`

PPPIP=$4

echo "$PPPIP"

echo "[$DATE] $PPPIP " >>/var/log/pppd.log
</snip>

Or is having the "Local IP number" a Debianism (surely not?)?

HTH,
Neale.
