Install the rest of Unix around the command prompt emulation you've found to be
nice. You should then find that the PPP implementation you have provides hooks to
do what you want. For example, in Red Hat 6.1 you would edit /etc/ppp/ip-up.local

Or, to put it another way, Cygwin doesn't have anything to do with Dial-up
networking under Windows, so it's unlikely to hook into the Windows PPP
implementation in a meaningful way. It's only a replacement for command prompt and
various associated utilities from Unix - it's not a complete Unix emulation.
