have a look at /etc/ppp/ip-up, which will call /etc/ppp/ip-up.local if
that exists and is executable. parameters are
 INTERFACE=$1
 DEVICE=$2
 SPEED=$3
 LOCALIP=$4
 REMOTEIP=$5
 IPPARAM=$6

you now can easily put a line like
 mail -s "running with IP $LOCALIP" you@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
into that script.
