Frontends are overkill. Two options on how to do this better with just the ppp package with no frontends: With any modem: Add the "demand" option to the PPP configuration. With external, non-USB modems (recommended): Add the "persist" option and rename /etc/ppp/no_ppp_on_boot to /etc/ppp/ppp_on_boot. To connect: Turn modem on. To disconnect: Turn modem off. - -- .''`.
