I get mine going by sending a packet out the interface... For example, if
the destination that you connect to is xxx.yyy.zzz.aaa, then try
ping -c 1 xxx.yyy.zzz.aaa

for example, my rc.local looks like

echo -n 'starting ppp auto'
/usr/sbin/ppp -auto bspro
/sbin/ping -c 1 xxx.yyy.zzz.aaa

where xxx.yyy.zzz.aaa is the IP address of the computer I connect to...
