After you login (but it does not work), what does route show?
Perhaps the default route is not being set for some reason, or is being
set wrongly. Although the latter is not likely, because it would break
any Win95 user who has `use default gateway on remote network' enabled.

Your connect script for diald should ONLY run chat, not run PPP as well.
Could it be that your script runs pppd? If so, your link will come up
(because you have started ppp) but diald will kill it because the chatscript
"failed". diald will start PPP itself.
In /etc/diald/diald.options I have
# Scripts used to bring up/shut down the serial line.
connect "/etc/ppp/startppp-diald"
disconnect "/etc/ppp/ppp-disconnect"
and in /etc/ppp/startppp-diald:
chat -v -f /etc/ppp/chatscript
