Not sure if this copying is a good idea. Have you tried pppconfig?
[01:24:58 tmp]$ grep-available -PX pppconfig
Package: pppconfig
Priority: optional
Section: base
Installed-Size: 93
Maintainer: John Hasler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Architecture: all
Version: 2.0.9
Depends: ppp (>= 2.3.7), whiptail | dialog
Filename: pool/main/p/pppconfig/pppconfig_2.0.9_all.deb
Size: 26422
MD5sum: f163c23f1ce94f930c84e612ee09d88b
Description: A text menu based utility for configuring ppp.
It provides extensive explanations at each step. pppconfig supports
PAP, CHAP, and chat methods of authentication. It uses the standard
ppp configuration files and sets ppp up so that the standard pon and
poff commands can be used to control ppp.
Some features supported by pppconfig are:
- Multiple ISP's with separate nameservers.
- Modem detection.
- Dynamic DNS.
- Dial on demand.
Task: dialup
