It is doubtful you'll be able to accomplish that, certainly not without
some seriously ugly hacking. First off, I don't think that PPPD will
even be invoked with the proper arguments for it to be the 'client' end
of the connection, but even if it is, the Asterisk dialplan will halt
execution until PPPD returns, so there's no way you are going to be able
to execute an AGI or System() or anything to take actions over the PPP link.
