Should be easy, get ppp-2.3.5 (you need this for 2.1.x x>95ish anyway, see
Changes for where), set up everything as usual, add a "<local>:<remote>"
and "demand" to your /etc/ppp/options. Start pppd and it will create
ppp0 and routing as if the link was up with the addresses you told it.
When some traffic actually appears, it will dialup ;).
I don't know if it will pickup on dynamic IP addresses, you may be able to
put in bogus addresses which are close, and add the "ipcp-accept-local"
and "ipcp-accept-remote" options but you many have to look at diald to
deal with that tho.
