Well modprobe pppoatm loads the pppoatm module into the kernel,
modem_run -k -f /etc/ppp/mgmt.o loads the firmware into the modem and
pppd call speedtch runs ppp with the options in the file /etc/ppp/peers/speedtch

It seems that setting up the bootscript was the stage that went wrong for you 
from http://www.linux-usb.org/SpeedTouch/suse/index.html 
Did you create the /etc/init.d/dial bootscript?
As root

kate /etc/init.d/dial

Then copy and paste those three commands

#!/bin/bash
modprobe pppoatm &&
modem_run -k -f /etc/ppp/mgmt.o &&
pppd call speedtch

Then change the permissions on it (so it can be executed)

chmod 744 /etc/init.d/dial

and setup a symbolic so it gets run when you boot

ln -s ../dial /etc/init.d/rc5.d/S50dial
