See these two lines?
That sais the ISP cant validate your password, so most probably the
password is wrong. It should be in /etc/ppp/ in a file called
pap-secret or something (it was mentioned in an earlyer post).
You could allso have to edit the /etc/ppp/options to let ppp do something
that the ISP requires it to do.
Wery vague I know but chech those two, the password and what it is you are
asking PPP to do.
