You could also change it to something like this:

0 8/16 * * * /sbin/ifup ppp0          # Checks the mail between the hours of
8AM and 4PM
5 8/16 * * * /sbin/ifdown ppp0     # Shuts down connection between the hours
of 8AM and 4PM

>>># Every hour checking the mail
>>>0 * * * * /sbin/ifup ppp0
>>>5 * * * * /sbin/ifdown ppp0
>>
>>And what, if any, ramifications are there if you happen to be _already_
>>connected via ppp and these processes run? Do you get kicked off every
>>hour and five minutes past?
