Try minicom first on the port and see if you can directly talk to the
modem with AT commands. Try to dial your isp using minicom and make
sure the connection is made. Record all the required prompts and
responses, if any. Did you run pppconfig? What does your
/etc/ppp/peers/provide file look like? What does plog show when you
start pon? We really need more data to point you in the right
direction.
