This seems to be because the ifup scripts don't get run until you actually activate the interface. What I did when using an on demand connection was configure it normally (not at boot) and then added "/sbin/ifup ppp0 &" to the end of /etc/rc.d/rc.local > 7. i start my "/etc/ppp/masq start" > 8. i start "pppd :10.0.0.2" (And here it hangs and doesn't gives > me back prompt, is it ok?) More than likely.
