Maybe I misunderstood you, but isn't the standar behavior like this:
1 - If the ppp connection is not created, nothing appears in the
ifconfig output.
2 - If it is created but not up 9connected) it appears in the iconfig
output as being "down".
3 - If it is created and connected , it appears as being "up".
