I would like to setup a non-root account to use the
dialup. I have it setup in the Network configuration
console to activate the dialup, but it needs the root

command to do this?
I don't have dialup, but I suspect it is the same as for other
interfaces.
Go into the System Settings --> Network Configuration menu
Choose the ppp0 device (so it's highlighted)
Click the Edit button
Check the box that says "Allow All Users to Enable and Disable This
Device"
Save and exit.
Now, any user logged in at the console can start it by going to
System Tools --> Network Device Control
On my system, I added that to the gnome panel to make it even easier.
This could be similarly achieved by adding the line USERCTL="yes" in the
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ppp0
