The part you need looks to be a chat script.

Create a file "/etc/ppp/peers/wmu-apt" with the contents:

ttyS0	57600
connect '/usr/sbin/chat -v -f /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/chat-ppp0'
ipcp-accept-local
ipcp-accept-remote
defaultroute
modem

If your little device (nothing but a module RJ45-DB9/BD25 I'll wager) 
lets you use hardware flow control add:

crtscts

And something like the following in 
"/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/chat-ppp0'

'hosts'  'ppp'
'ogin:'  'UID HERE'
'word:'  'PASSWORD HERE"

That should get you pretty close (changing the obvious paramters).
