Do :
$ zcat /usr/share/doc/ppp/README.Debian.gz | more 

and find the lines about demand dialing. That way ppp will go up
whenever you ask for a webpage and down after the idle time you
define.
If you just want a gui ppp dialer install kppp, or gkrellm & put
'pon', 'poff' in its ppp0 net configuration.

As with all things linux you have more than one options. I
prefer gentoo (light-weight & powerful), but for more
windoze-like I'd suggest kde's konqueror.
