 Hello,
 Some days ago i had a similar problem (dyndns but with fetch instead of wget).
 I think the reason why it doesn't work is that ppp waits for all commands in
 ppp.linkup to complete before it actually transfer data over tun0. Since ppp
 waits for wget and wget wants to send data over tun0 there is some sort of
 dead-lock. I solved the issue by running fetch (or wget in your case) in the
 background (replace "!" with "!bg").
 
 HTH
