This depends on the ISP.  It's becoming more common, though, so newer
versions of User PPP do it by default.

You probably don't want to tell the world your authname and authkey :-)

You'll proabably find it more convenient to start it with 

 # ppp -background provide[r]

See the man pages for alternatives.
