This is what I'm using.  It works well for me most of the time. I'm 
still playing with it tho' as sometimes after I terminate a connection,
I can't re-connect without some major pounding .


ppp-on--------------------------------------------------------------

#!/bin/sh
#
# Script to initiate a ppp connection. This is the first part of the
# pair of scripts. This is not a secure pair of scripts as the codes
# are visible with the 'ps' command.  However, it is simple.
#
# These are the parameters. Change as needed.
TELEPHONE=1234567	
ACCOUNT=< account >	
PASSWORD=< password >	
LOCAL_IP=0.0.0.0	# Local IP address if known. Dynamic = 0.0.0.0
REMOTE_IP=0.0.0.0	# Remote IP address if desired. Normally 0.0.0.0
NETMASK=255.255.255.0	# The proper netmask if needed
#
# Export them so that they will be available at 'ppp-on-dialer' time.
export TELEPHONE ACCOUNT PASSWORD
# 
# This is the location of the script which dials the phone and logs
# in.  Please use the absolute file name as the $PATH variable is not
# used on the connect option.  (To do so on a 'root' account would be
# a security hole so don't ask.)

DIALER_SCRIPT=/etc/ppp/ppp-on-dialer

# Initiate the connection
