Can I start kppp from the command line and have it automatically dial

sudo kppp ispname username password dialnow

No manual entry for kppp

I've had some limited success figuring it out on my own. But I can't
seem to get any further (though I haven't given up). This is what I
have currently:

One thought that comes to mind is "suid 0" or whatever that is (from my
lurking on the list)(never messed with it), but that would not
accommodate the link pointing to ...-rafael instead of ...-root, not to
mention the dangers of "suid 0". And the ispaccount info is in root's
files, not rafael's nor any other user's.
Is it not possible to run "sudo kppp"? Or perhaps it is not possible to
have it auto connect?
(Once I get it working, I will put it into a script which is executable
by anyone on this machine and then set up an icon to invoke the script.
I would like to have this icon autoconnect when activated, then kppp
put its own icon into the system tray. And this part probably needs
something on the command line to specify it: Upon disconnect, I want it
to bypass the dialog that allows you to configure the settings and just
quit instead.)
I guess I still need some tweaking for both sudo *and* kppp to get it right.
