ppp with no arguments starts ppp in interactive mode.

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
         =20
and then start ppp with ppp -auto wol

man ppp tells you about other options as well, on the first page.
