The key word is
mgetty
This will answer the phone and start pppd when you have set it up.

Here are some lines from www.theory.physics.ubc.ca/ppp-linux.html

To have others connect to your machine, (ie, to have yourself act as an
ISP), use mgetty from http://alpha.greenie.net/mgetty/. Also get the
guide
http://www.swcp.com/~jgentry/dialin2.html to setting up dial in access
or see ./mgetty.html.
Here, http://axion.physics.ubc.ca/mgetty-point.html are also a number of
links to documentation to getting mgetty up and running (including with
multiple incoming
telephone lines).
