Hmmm...that will work, but do you think that this functionality is really
necessary?  Wouldn't someone interested in doing this be willing to go to
the trouble of modifying the scripts themselves?  How do you pick which
port is going to be the "client" port and which the "server"?  I realize
pppd is both, but one connect script is actually going to dial a remote
system, the other should just put the modem in auto-answer mode or
something like that.

Perhaps you'd want something more like:

ppp-up [modem | printer]  (defaults to modem)

and 

ppp-server [printer | modem] (defaults to printer)

Does this make sense?

Later.
