As a starting point you might try the following link. It does assume a
basic level of ppp functionality (that being "ifup ppp0" successfully
connects to ISP if I recall) but I found it successful with a couple of
modifications. One factor is that ISP's can vary in what they require
to authenticate - username vs. login for example.

This link will help you get dial on demand ppp set up. The other half
of the equation is to set ipchains to forward and masquerade packets on
your eth network to your ppp connection.
You should create the file /etc/ppp/ip-up.local with the masq and
forwarding stuff. The following is a functional starting point.
# Enable IP forwarding
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
# Flush existing ruleset
ipchains -F forward
# Default policy is to DENY
ipchains -P forward DENY
# Append a policy to masquerade & forward any local traffic to any
destination
ipchains -A forward -s 192.168.1.0/24 -d 0.0.0.0/0 -j MASQ
You'll have to sub the correct IP above of course. Be sure to make the
ip-up.local file executeable. You may also want to make an
ip-down.local file to undo the firewall (IP masq & forward) rules when
the link is brought down.
Diald is another option for demand dial but I found it very difficult
and confusing to set up (or maybe I was just in 'duh' mode that day :-).
If you need more help just ask :-).
