The following connect script did the trick for me. It just initialises the
modem, dials the number and makes sure the call is answered by a modem.
You then need to put your login info in /etc/ppp/(ch|p)ap-secrets as someone
else has already described.

# This script is hacked from an example provided with the most excellent
# diald.
#
# Copyright (c) 1996, Eric Schenk.
#
# This script is intended to give an example of a connection script that
# uses the "message" facility of diald to communicate progress through
# the dialing process to a diald monitoring program such as dctrl or diald-top.
# It also reports progress to the system logs. This can be useful if you
# are seeing failed attempts to connect and you want to know when and why
# they are failing.
#
# This script requires the use of chat-1.9 or greater for full
# functionality. It should work with older versions of chat,
# but it will not be able to report the reason for a connection failure.
