Run pppconfig as root and fill in the blanks.  Start your connection with
pon, monitor it with plog, and stop it with poff.  No need to write any
scripts.

Upgrade ppp and pppconfig to potato first, though.


Another option is wvdial, which (in Woody at least), has enough intelligence to search for your modem and make intelligent guesses as to configuration parameters. It'll also redail automatically if the connection gets dropped, which is handy in my case since I have an ISP with a three-hour limit.
