If you'd like to use kernel-ppp, here is the configuration of my pppd:
(first of all, you have to enable the ppp-option in the kernel!)

/etc/ppp/options:-------------------------------------------------
/dev/cuaa0 115200
crtscts
modem
connect "/usr/bin/chat -f /etc/ppp/login.chat.script"
noipdefault
passive
domain d.kamp.net
:
defaultroute

/etc/ppp/login.chat.script:----(this goes into one line)----------
ABORT BUSY ABORT 'NO CARRIER' ABORT 'NO DIALTONE' TIMEOUT 5 "" +++ATZ OK ATDT<yo
ur isp's telephone-number> TIMEOUT 40 CONNECT \r\n TIMEOUT 10 gin:-BREAK-gin: <y
our isp's login-user-id> word: <your isp's login-password>

Additionaly you have to edit the files
/etc/host.conf like:
hosts
bind

and /etc/hosts like:

127.0.0.1               localhost.my.isp.com localhost
127.0.0.1               myworld.my.isp.com myworld
127.0.0.1               myworld.my.isp.com.

and /etc/resolv.conf like:

domain  my.isp.com <your isp's domain-name>
nameserver      123.123.123.12 <your isp's nameserver address>
nameserver      456.456.456.45 <your isp's nameserver address ...>

If you are also interested in getting the mail per *fetchmail* in a batch
(maybe in the night), you could use a script (e.g. to start from *cron*) like
the following one:

pppd
<Here you have to wait nearly 20-30 seconds ... >
sendmail -q
/usr/local/bin/fetchmail -v -m "/usr/sbin/sendmail <you user-name on your pc>" \
        -f /root/getmail/.fetchmailrc
ps ax|grep pppd|grep -v grep|/root/getmail/KillFirstArg

# KillFirstArg is a little C-Program which kills the process with the
# number given from stdin with the command "kill -TERM <process-number>"
# you could also use an awk-script, but I'm not familiar with awk at the 
# moment. :-)
<Here you have to wait 5 seconds ...>
ifconfig ppp0 down
ifconfig ppp0 delete

And you could look into the handbook for further details, where these
examples are from :-)
