Shouldn't it be 'provider'?

Hi!

I have configured the ppp dialup connection with pppconfig,
(for example the connection named: MYISP), 
Now how do I establish and shut down the ppp dialup connection
(not under GNOME)?

Thanks!

Alex

Type 'pon' to establish the connection and 'poff' to shut it down.  'plog'
will show you the status.

 not under GNOME

If you have Gnome and want pointy-clicky ppp control install gpppon from
unstable.  It's a gnome wrapper around pon and poff.

Which is what I should have written in my previous response.

 connection and only need to issue the command: pon

Not 'default', 'provider'.
