for analog modems you have to use the diald daemon.
For isdn you can use ipppd.

These daemons trigger the dial to your provider and hang up the
connection after a configureable timeout.

Keep in eye the dialups, because the dnsserver triggers many dialup
connections, if it is not configured correctly.
