What is the proper way to do that?
Thanks!

The quick way is to put the command in /etc/rc.local. The better way is
to configure /etc/network/interfaces for ppp. See the 'interfaces' man
page for the details.


I wouldn't mess with rc.local in this particular case.
'man interfaces' is correct but hard on the eyes, so to say.
Googling 'interfaces linux' I found
http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/setting-up-an-network-interfaces-file/
that is a little easier to read.
