Here's what I use; I call it ppp-<machinename>:
#!/bin/sh
# 1995.08.04 Chris Shenton
# - Changed IP address to name.
# - Increased speed from 57600 to 115200.
# - Added leading `A' to `AT' to sync speed with modem.
# - Added detach, so we background; override /etc/ppp/options.

Here's our /etc/ppp/options; note we're subnetting -- you may not be:
netmask 255.255.255.240 # subnet mask for our system
crtscts # enable hardware flow control
modem # use modem line control
proxyarp # insert an ARP entry for the host
lcp-echo-interval 30 # send an echo packet every 30 seconds
lcp-echo-failure 10 # die after n failed lcp echo requests
