I'm currently accessing my ISP with a 28.8Kbps modem. pppd in itself, being a kernel process, is faster than iijppp. But it's a bit less flexible and not easy to config. There are instructions in the Handbook and I can refer you to an associate of mine who has a very nice pppd configuration, including unattended outbound connections.
