ifconfig -a after:
# ifconfig -a

ifconfig -a before is the same except ppp0 not present.
I do not remember exact ppp options, I'll send them later.
They are something like:
nodeflate
nobsdcomp
noauth
pty "pptp xx.xx.xx.xx --nolaunchpppd"
connect sh -c 'true'
name dilmah
remotename PPTP
ipparam corbina
