Here's my way: 
I "su" to root and start the connection with 

$ pon 

This starts pppd with the chatscript directives I have stored in 
/etc/ppp.chatscript. All normal debian-ppp usage!

I think you have to do a thing that is very similar to my setup.

My ISP requires that after I get connected to his dial-in server I have to
start his pppd with the command "ppp".
The promt he gives me is 
"port-12345:"    (the number after port changes every time I login.

So I added a line to /etc/ppp.chatscript:
>---- cut -------<
port          ppp
>---- cut -------<
^^^           ^^^
This is       This is 
what the      what it answers when it receives "port"
chat programm
waits for

here the  /etc/ppp.chatscript would have a line

access          ppp

Again:
Become root and type "pon"
