Check out ppp.conf.sample (it comes with the archive you downloaded,
but it's not installed automatically). The pmdemand entry gives an
example that should work for you.
-ddial keeps the line up all the time. "set reconnect" allows you to
reconnect if you lose carrier unexpectedly, but otherwise lets your
connection time out.
There's lots of stuff in the man page.
