There is an entire set of AT commands that can usually be found in your
modem's manual.  The following will work on all "hayes-compatible" modems.

ATZ			/* Resets the modem */
AT&F			/* A very basic modem initialization string */
ATDT<phone number>	/* Insert the phone number in the form: 1234567 */
ATH			/* Hangs up the modem */
AT+++			/* Changes from packet to terminal mode */

Your best bet would probably be to type this in the ppp term session:

ATZ
AT&F
ATDT<phone number>

At this point you should see the login prompt from your ISP.  Type your
username and password, ppp should go to packet mode automatically.

Hope this helps,
