Pretty close.  The -ddial feature is not supported in the version of
ppp on your system, but if you read the archives from January and
February of this year, I wrote several messages on how to setup demand
dialing with the -auto option on 2.1.x.

A version of the -current user-mode PPP which will compile and run on
2.1.5 is available, see http://www.freebsd.org/~brian/ for more info.
This will probably be your best bet if you cannot upgrade your 2.1.5
machine; upgrading to 2.2.2 or -stable would be even better.
