redhat makes this too easy.

as root:- 
startx 
netcfg 
click interfaces add ppp
configure ppp0, nameservers etc
check interface activate button works
optional - create scripts to use from cmd line

to connect
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ppp0 &

to disconnect
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifdown /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ppp0

It might pay to get some 4.1 updates 
eg 
   netcfg
   initscripts
   pythonlib
   rpm
