I cant help you with the VPN part, but trawling through various man
pages gave me the info I needed to make regular dialup work.
I use:
>pppd call connect-name
where connect-name is a parameter file in /etc/ppp/peers/connect-name
The contents of the param file are highly specific to individual
situations, but mine comtains simply:
serviceid 2
remoteaddress <phone-no>
user <user>
password <passwd>
serviceid is the id of the connection in internet connect, but in my
experience it's optional - internet connect does not need to be set up
for this to work.
You'll need more than just the pppd man page, as I recall pppd calls
other helper utilities, but man pppd is the starting point.

Greeting!
Greetings!
I suffer hang up problem exactly after 1 minute of PPTP VPN
connection,
configured with GUI of Mac OS 10.5.2. So I wanted to make a slight
change of
default system settings of "pppd", but the problem is that I
actually do not
know the default command line parameters of "pppd" for my PPTP VPN
connection.
Attempts to launch PPTP VPN connection and use variations of
"ps" command
("ps auxww", "ps axlww", "ps axww") results in similar to this:
pppd serviceid 7B2C0F87-8B80-4F66-9420-97D3D7536CC0 controlled
As I think, I cannot use this to launch PPTP VPN connection
manually,
moreover, to configure it...
Can you help me please to figure out, which exact command line my
system uses
to launch "pppd" daemod?
