  Depends on which distribution you use.  Under Debian,   all you have to
do is edit /etc/ppp.chatscript
and you should be home free.  To get it to connect, just type 'pon'.

In any case,  /etc/ppp/options should have :

connect "chat -f /etc/ppp.chatscript"
defaultroute
persist

in there some where.
To connect then,  (if you don't have pon),  you type
/usr/sbin/pppd /dev/modem <modem speed>

you can put it in a shell script called pon, and put the pon file in
somehwere like /usr/local/bin

        #!/bin/bash
         /usr/sbin/pppd /dev/modem <modem speed>
