try ppp -auto demand (or interactive, or call the sections by ISP names eg:
wol:
set authname username
set authkey password
set phone 1231234
set timeout 300
set openmode active
accept chap
set ifaddr 127.1.1.1/0 127.2.2.2/0 255.255.255.0
add 0 0 127.2.2.2
and then start ppp with ppp -auto wol
man ppp tells you about other options as well, on the first page.

I think you can set device /dev/cuaa0 in interactive, by typing it in.
A quick scan of your ppp.conf looks fine to me.
Good luck
John.
