OUCH!
watch out for the "delete ALL" in /etc/ppp/ppp.conf. it works for me using
the following:
Aspen:[7] tail /etc/rc.local
#
/usr/sbin/ppp -auto atinc
/sbin/ping -c 10 198.138.38.21
# X11 server
if [ -x /usr/X11/bin/xdm ]; then
echo -n ' xdm'; (sleep 5 ; /usr/X11/bin/xdm) &
fi
the ping gets ppp to dial and set up the routes BEFORE xdm gets started,
else my /etc/ppp/ppp.{conf,linkup} took X down when it reconfiged the routes
Aspen:[8] cat /etc/ppp/ppp.conf

default:
set debug phase lcp chat lqm

set dial "ABORT BUSY ABORT NO\\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 5 \"\" ATE1Q0 OK-AT-OK \\dATDT\\T TIMEOUT 40 CONNECT"
#

# accept any address assigned to us

atinc:

add 0 255.255.255.0 198.138.38.21
Aspen:[9] cat /etc/ppp/ppp.linkup
