I'm not sure here (but someone will point if I'm mistaken), but ppp init script is intend to bring up adsl based connections, while you need a dialler to connect dial-up, back in the days I had dial-up I used minicom, and later kppp to handle this... In fact, you need to set your device (usually /dev/modem) and use a program to dial using that modem, this will create the ppp0 interface for you, and also (most of them) will set is as the default route. Any server with dial-up has configurations, and that's what your ISP have in their script, you just find them out and put the same config at your dialer.
