That's what I do: I dialup with Seyon and then
when I see that gobbledigook like this:

PPP Ready.
          =FF##=C0!#}}! # #8{#!#$#%=DC}#"#&# # # } #%#&#(d

I press on a button which executes this:

pppd -d defaultroute /dev/modem 38400 crtscts mru 600 mtu 600

So, basically, I go through two steps:

dialup
run my Internet apps.   :)

Exactly the same thing as in Win95 DUN.
