Micro HOWTO:

to /etc/inittab

ttS1::respawn:/bin/sh /etc/modem.sh

to /etc/modems.sh

#!/bin/sh
#hostname pap-hostname
#pppd connect 'chat -v TIMEOUT 60 "" ATDP5555555 CONNECT ""' /dev/ttyS1 38400
defaultroute
#hostname router-hostname
sleep 1000


You can now change /etc/modems.sh in realtime (move '#') ;)
