There is a sample ppp-options file at:

Make sure you turn off Van-Jacobsen compression.  Sorry, I don't use
RedHat.  However, I'm pretty sure that the pppd program is the same.
Though, I seem to remember that RedHat had a seperate set of
config files that were special to RedHat in addition to the standard
config files.
