Once you connect with minicom you can start pppd. The important thing
is that you can now find out how your ISP authenticates using minicom.
You can now make a script to automate the procedure or use a GUI tool to
setup the script. I believe that RedHat 5 has a netcfg program that
should work.
The ISP HOWTO covers writing chat scripts.

This HOWTO describes how to use the netcfg tool.
