What you need: pppd-2.4.0b1 or better
following files:
/etc/ppp/pap-secrets
/etc/ppp/peers/provider
/etc/ppp/chatscript
pap-secrets file (must be owner:group root, chmod 600 or will not be
used):
login * password
provider file:
noauth
connect '/usr/sbin/chat -v -f /etc/ppp/chatscript'
debug
/dev/ttyS1 # ttyS1 == com2, use ttyS0-ttyS3 as required
#115200 # speed: adjust as necessary (if required)
defaultroute
noipdefault
user 'david' # user your username here
demand
persist
idle 900 # 15 minutes idle link, disconnect
holdoff 15 # on error (busy signal, etc.) redial after this many seconds
ipcp-accept-local
ipcp-accept-remote
192.168.11.2:192.168.11.1 # any bogus IP
refuse-chap
noipx
#mtu 552 # if you have problems with connections
bsdcomp 15,15 # modprobe bsd_comp first
deflate 15,15 # modprobe ppp_deflate first
# will only use one of bsdcomp or deflate (deflate preferred)
chatscripts file:
ABORT BUSY
ABORT "NO CARRIER"
ABORT VOICE
ABORT "NO DIALTONE"
ABORT "NO ANSWER"

ogin: \d\q'david' #use your login name (obviously)
ssword: \qpassword # and your passwd
# note: the two lines above may not be required, depends on the ISP's
setup

To activate, just use:
pppd call provider ("provider" is name of /etc/ppp/peers/provider file)
