No, I'm afraid it isnt:

The 'right way' would be:
expression (ppp('Rx:0', 500)+ppp('Tx:0', 500))

BUT the ppp plugin is somewhat broken: It takes a lot of CPU time, 
because it always triggers a modprobe for non-existing ppp devices. I 
don't know exactly why...

To be save, use the netdev plugin with the ppp device:
expression netdev('ppp0', 'Rx_bytes', 500)


bye, Michael
