I think he's trying to use ppp0 status as an indication of internet
connection (somewhat more common).
As to your first suggestion, maybe there's even a better way -- have
licq install signal handlers for e.g. SIGUSR1 and SIGUSR2, switching
it online in the former and offline in the latter, and then have the
ip-up script killall -USR1 licq and the ip-down script killall -USR2
licq. It should be pretty easy to implement, and although it won't be
very robust, it'll work.
