u can use wvdial or pon,
both make the use of pppd.
check wvdial man pages, and the ppp howto. You must configure several
things before u can use dial up connections.

Use pppconfig to configure your dial-up connection.
Subsequently, you use pon and poff to bring the connection
up and down, respectively.
In a shell script, the easiest way to find out if the link
is up or down is to check for the presence of /var/run/ppp0.pid.
