Arrrrgh!!! (sorry for this off-topic rant)
This is just nuts. I don't know where people are getting these ideas.
Try the PPP documentation. (not just the above people -- many have
posted similar strange hacks) You start PPP like this:
pppd call foo (foo is a config file in /etc/ppp/peers/)
That's it. Nothing more. No stty needed. No ifconfig needed.
No shell script needed. You can alias the above to "ppp".
