I haven't done much with ppp myself, but aren't ppp devices/connections 
brought up with pon <provider> where provider is a file in /etc/ppp/peers/ ?

To make it automatic, in /etc/network/interfaces I think you can do

[...]
auto ppp0
iface ppp0 ppp
	provider <provider>
[...]

or

iface ppp0 wvdial

to use wvdial

I think... checking man interfaces this seems correct, but like I said I 
don't have any experience doing it myself.
