Hint:  Use user mode ppp, aka `ppp'.  Has a built in terminal mode and
script.

Set up a new ISP profile in /etc/ppp/ppp.conf, copying from the `papsite'
example.  Set your username and password as authname and authkey.  Run ppp
as `ppp isp' with isp as the label  you chose, then run `dial' to connect.
