I use a script from /etc/init.d with approrpriate links to rc*.d (make
with update-rc.d)

If you want to set things up on ppp0, then put the script in
/etc/ppp/ip-up.d to bring firewall up and /etc/ppp/ip-down.d/ to
take it down again.

I basically made this up myself from a few docs, do I take no
responsibility if it's a dodgy script:

Hope that helps
