machine connected to a normal modem.

pppd has always worked fine for me and as you know, is the service
that always ends up being used no matter front end you use to set it
up.

OK, it would be i/pppd regardless, but do you automate it or do you
start it manually? I need it to happen automagically, both start and
stop. AFAICT, the necessary routing changes can be made to happen
automatically.
