I've tried the
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-ppp
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifdown-ppp
scripts and they don't do exactly what the control-panel equivalent does. Essentially
ifup-ppp gets the modem to dial out then the connection drops after some negotiation.
Through control-panel, it connects fine and stays connected. There must be another
script (or two) that control-panel runs. Any ideas?

BTW, RH6.0 is what I'm using.
