Why can't you use chat?  You have to tell the TA to dial.

pppd -detach modem crtscts lock connect 'chat ATDT5551212 CONNECT' \
   some_netmask some_address /dev/cuaa0 57600

Thats basically the same as using cu or kermit.  Add whatever options
you need on the command line or in /etc/ppp/options.  Put your PAP
password in /etc/ppp/pap-secrets.  The pppd man page discusses PAP
and CHAP authentication at length.

Or use ppp instead, aka iijppp. `man ppp' for details.  Its much
more suited to the task at hand.
