ppp runs very fine with my for more than 3 months (i've exactly the same
configuration that you).
you need to edit /etc/ppp/ppp.conf to fill the phone, authname & authkey
fields, then call ppp:
ppp -ddial -nat papchap
and to close the connection:
killall ppp
notice that you can add an user in the network group to allow him to
dial
but check the man 8 ppp , it's very well explained
cam.
