Does it have to be the name of the provider? Why not use the IP info from
ifconfig?

The IP is given as a parameter to the script, no need to search for it -
or it should, at least. It is done for ip-up.local, dunno for if-up.d/



Thanks for both of you for the ideas! Generally my naive idea was
to extract somehow the _name_ of the provider and personally I didn't
think about to use the IPs. To be honest I have even no idea, if
my friend uses few free providers, how different their IPs are...
e.g. earlier I had Hungarian freemail and freeweb dial-up and there
was time when they used the same range of dynamic IPs, but the first
supposed to provide exclusively SMTP/POP access and the later one
"only" internet...

I think the best will be to wait until I travel back to Budapest to
have a look on his settings personally.



If they are truly different ISP's, they will have different, though
possibly similar address ranges. Also the default route should be
unique for each one. You may be able to do a host lookup to see who has
what address.
