There should be an init script in /etc/rc.d/init.d/. CD into the init script directory and do 'grep pppd *'. One of the scripts should come back. After that just do 'scriptname start'.

login as root
the following command should allow you to find the pppd start up if it exists.

find /etc/init.d/ -name "*pp*'

after that do
#service 'servicename' start
this will start the service
#service 'servicename' status
returns the status
#service 'servicename' blabla
return all the valid option.

Please do keep giving point so we know if this is what you needed

enjoy.
