How would we know without seeing your scripts? (pppconfig/pon works OK
out of the box for most of us).
Let's see the ppp.log, /etc/ppp/options, and pap-secrets (without your
username/password showing, of course!).
And what kind of modem do you have? Unfortunately, some modems (like my
USR Sportster) need different connect strings to work right
consistently.
