Well, yes, /etc/dial/ip-up is the proper file, but you have to
enable its use. The example diald.options file from /usr/doc/diald/examples/
contains these lines:
# These two scripts must be executable.
#ip-up /etc/diald/ip-up
#ip-down /etc/diald/ip-down
Thus they're probably not activated yet. So uncomment them
and place something like
ifconfig |mail -s "I'm online now" root
in the ip-up script.
