I just use pppd.  It does all the address allocation stuff on its own.
You have to set up a chat script to dial the phone, and you have to
get the ppp parameters right, and you have to set up an
/etc/ppp/papsecrets (or chapsecrets) file.  Here are mine (suitably
censored, of course):

--------------------------------/etc/ppp/start---------------------------------
pppd /dev/tty01 57600 crtscts defaultroute netmask 255.255.255.255 connect /etc/ppp/script -chap name fnoog noauth refuse-chap user fnoog
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------/etc/ppp/script----------------------------------
#!/bin/sh
chat -f /etc/ppp/connect -v -r /var/log/chatlog
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-------------------------------/etc/ppp/connect--------------------------------

I'm using PAP because I wanted to verify that it worked - CHAP is
technically a better protocol, since the password is never sent across
the connection.   With PAP, it's sent across in the clear.   This is
less of a problem with modems than with ethernets, but it's still
bugus, particularly since the RADIUS client may well be sending the
password over your ISP's ethernet in the clear.
