Try this script:
/* REXX */
'ppp.exe'
say rc
        The fist line, /* ... */ tells OS/2 that this is a rexx
script and not a simple batch file.  The second line is the
command you'd use to connect to your internet server.  The third
line prints to the screen the Return Code of the last command.
You should be able to figure out the various return codes that
occur in different situations, and execute different actions.
select
   when rc = 99 then do
      say 'User terminated the command'
      exit
      end
   when rc = ...
      end
   otherwise
      say 'This return code (' || rc || ') was received'
end
        Or you could get PPPdial, which is a number of batch files,
and look at what's been done there.
