Many thanks for the replies, James reply put me on the track, vnstat just reads /proc/net/dev this give full stats for all up interfaces. All I need to do is when ppp0 comes up is to start reading /proc/net/dev and feed it to grep ppp0, extracting the transmit and recieve count will be trivial.

There are always more commands to learn, it seems. Vnstat was new to me.
