I'm trying to set FreeBSD 3.0 (snap-970527) up to work with a service
called Dynamic DNS from www.ml.org.  What I need it to do when it
connects is to run a program that will sent my current IP address to
ml.org and update the DNS.  I've got my automatic connection set up so
that FreeBSD connects to my ISP immediatly upon startup.  My question is
how can I force it to execute this program whenever the user PPP program
connects to my ISP?
