I haven't modified any of the relevant init scripts.
As far as I know the ppp daemon is started from /etc/rcS.d/S40networking
(it contains command 'ifup -a' which should bring up all network
interfaces, including ppp0)
Other daemons (bind, ntp, ...) are started from scripts that are linked
to /etc/rc2.d (S19bind, S23ntp-server, etc.).
The manuals you pointed me to say that /etc/rcS.d scripts are ran before
any of the /etc/rc2.d scripts.
I think the problem is that S40networking runs 'ifup -a' which in turn
runs pppd. pppd forks and returns immediately, which means that other
boot scripts are started while the ppp is making connection in the
background.
