I haven't modified any of the relevant init scripts. As far as I know the ppp daemon is started from /etc/rcS.d/S40networking (it contains command 'ifup -a' which should bring up all network interfaces, including ppp0) Other daemons (bind, ntp, ...) are started from scripts that are linked to /etc/rc2.d (S19bind, S23ntp-server, etc.). The manuals you pointed me to say that /etc/rcS.d scripts are ran before any of the /etc/rc2.d scripts. I think the problem is that S40networking runs 'ifup -a' which in turn runs pppd. pppd forks and returns immediately, which means that other boot scripts are started while the ppp is making connection in the background.
