A quick and dirty way to do it is to set USERCTL=yes in
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ppp0, and the make a menu entry or
alias for /sbin/ifup ppp0 and /sbin/ifdown ppp0. An alias works well if
you are working from the command line. This works well if you want manual
control. If you are running 6.x, you can also play with the demand option
of pppd. I am not sure how sell that part works, as I was still running
5.2 on the machine that was using dialup. Now I have DSL, so I don't do
much with PPP...
