Add the following lines

ntpdate <server>

to your /etc/ppp/ip-up script. You could run xntpd but it requires
permanent net access. You should be better off with just
doing an ntpdate at the start of the session. <server> is any
stratum 1 or 2 ntp server.

In case you don't know, /etc/ppp/ip-up is executed by the pppd
every time the PPP link goes up. The sleep is necessary to make
sure the ppp interface is fully operational.
