The way it should be done.  All those dialers are just ugly hacks.

If the connection isn't permenent (you have to reconnect 
periodically) one neat trick is to have "init" run pppd on the
terminal line in the same manner it would run getty.  Every time
pppd stops init just starts a new one. That's how I manage PPP 
connectivity to Palm Pilots (setup to use "Windows RAS").
