After exploring available options, I've decided to use:

Now where should the start-pppd-on-boot logic go? Lots of choices ... but what's best/recommended practice?
You throw away all your manual configuration and use yast to configure your ppp connection to be enabled during boot. Make sure you use the traditional method (ifup) and not NetworkManager. Your custom firewall script you throw into /etc/ppp/ip-up.d. There really is no need to do everything manualy. Henne -- Henne Vogelsang, openSUSE.
