I would do:
-----cut-----
#!/bin/sh
echo -n "Type in your password: "
stty -echo
read PASSWORD
echo
stty echo
/usr/sbin/pppd .......
-----cut-----
and you can type $PASSWORD instead of the actual password inside your
script.
Otherwise, you should use minicom or some other comm software to login,
but it would be less comfortable.
