Read through the /etc/ppp/ppp.conf.sample file. It is well commented. You are supposed to copy it to /etc/ppp/ppp.conf and make your own modifications. Also take a look at man ppp. Basically there is a default section that sets up your modem, and a selection of dial sections below to choose from. I prefer the pmdemand section, so when I dial, I type 'ppp -auto pmdemand' as root and the system automatically creates a tun device for me.
