Thanks for the script!  It works great.  Turns out I also had a
problem in the options file, but that was easily fixed.

I saw in another message that you also have a script for dynamic ppp
that makes use of the minor number of the device for the IP address.
I was wondering of you could forward that script also?  Thanks in
