In /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ppp0 you need to add the line
"USRCTL=true" to the file and now users can use the /sbin/ifup and
/sbin/ifdown scripts to control their network devices, including modems.

It's all pretty easy once you read the documentation for the initscripts
package.

/usr/share/doc/initscripts-7.14/sysconfig.txt

I hate to say RTFM...
