Detect PPP interface ?

[Magnus Wirström <asd mail bip net>]

Hi ...

I am writing a simple ppp0 dialer ... and I wonder if anyone knows how
to detect if ppp0 is up and running in a simple way ... Would also be
nice to to get some status stuff too =)

All in this in GNOME of course =)

Thank you all
