If you accepted the default name for the PPP connection, it will be
called "provider" by default. To connect, you can type:

  pon provider

or even just:

  pon

If, however, you chose to give a name to the connection you created you
will have to specify the name ie:

  pon <name>

To terminate the connection, just type:

  poff

For more info, read:

  man pon
  man poff
