Hello,
I have a umsm modem, that connects to the internet with pppd, need to
always dial up the connection on boot.
Added a simple hostname.if, like this:
# cat /etc/hostname.ppp0
dhcp
!pppd call ac875
This approach does work, but it feels weird because it does not really uses
dhcp. Also I get this on the start:
"starting network
ppp0: no link ........... sleeping"
How this should be achieved correctly?

If I'm not mistaken, you want "up" instead of "dhcp" to get rid of that
message.
However, there's no explicit support for ppp in /etc/netstart so I think
your approach is otherwise probably the best way to do it.
