Are you authenticating via PAP or a chat script? If you're using
a login script you may be able to login manually by dialing in with
minicom, logging in, starting ppp then quiting without disconnecting.
Once you've quit minicom, start pppd as root. Something like
pppd -detach /dev/modem &
Also make sure you're not trying to have the server authenticate back
to you. I've done that myself when trying to setup PAP. If none of this
helps, and you're using PAP I may have some scripts you could try and
more detailed instructions on setting up PAP. Just drop me a note and
I'll see if I can help.
