Your's looks like mine except for the 127.... I have 10.0.0.0 I also have a setup for pppctl. I can use it to dial. I haven't tried bringing ppp up without the auto and using my pppctl dial shell script to force the dial. Are you running a DNS server or sendmail running. Something that would do a query and force the dial. I don't and it only redials when I bring up my e-mail program or setiathome has a WU to send to Berkeley.
