You need to run a short script under cron at frequency you
want. The algorithm of the script should be something like:
IF ppp is not running
then dial server with either chat script or
wvdial in the background
fi
Purge pending messages (with sendmail -q &)
Fetch mails from pop3 server in the background
Wait till lock/ pid files of above are removed
and then disconnect from ISP
Take output to a log file or mail root for record purposes
Exit
Read the man for crontab and crond about cron details ...
