Even if it is a simple newbie error I don't know if I can help since I am not
an expert.
However, I would try to debug it with the PPP-HOWTO.
Since I understand that you manage to connect to your ISP, I would suspect the
configuration files such as /etc/ppp.chatscript /etc/ppp.options_out and
/etc/ppp/options.
What does your /etc/ppp/connect-errors /var/log/ppp.log and other log files
have to say ?
Perhaps it will help if you mail a relevant log file (such as
/var/log/ppp.log) lines, without password, ofcourse.
I hope it helps.
