You might try using the CHAT command to do the dialing for you like: pppd <dev> <speed> modem defaultroute connect 'chat "" ATZ OK ATDT<phone #> ...' filling in the rest of the handshaking with the remote end as needed. For SLIP, there is a bsddip (modified DIP) program that includes its own dialer program which uses a pseudo Expect script.
