Before I got my cable modem, I used a package called diald.

Diald provides on demand Internet connectivity for Linux, giving you
complete automated control over your SLIP or PPP links. When you need
a connection it's there. When you don't, it's not. You'll never need
to run a "ppp-on" or "ppp-off" script again.
