Typing /sbin/ifup ppp0 into /etc/bashrc worked for me.
However, to be honest I found it to be awkward and have deleted the command
from the file. Whenever I had to su to root it would try and connect all over
again and cause the terminal to stall for a minute or so whilst it shut down the
initial connection and redialled again. A pain when the task you su to do
would have only taken few seconds.
