You can have a hotplug script run when the device is plugged in.
The USB subsystem takes care of that.  Roman has a patch to the
ATM layer that fires hotplug events when the ATM device is created,
which means after the firmware loads if you use the latest drivers.
That's probably the right moment to call pppd.
