Do You try connect as a root or as a user?
(I can as a root and as a selected user...)
Try wvdial - is better and most simply (there is also kwvdial for
KDE)

Have You a "set uid root" for /usr/sbin/pppd?
Have You a "group right to write" for device /dev/ttyS0?
In my system:
debian:~# ls -l `which pppd`
-rwsr-x--- 1 root dip 183504 lis 11 00:33
/usr/sbin/pppd
debian:~# ls -l /dev/ttyS1
crw-rw---- 1 root dialout 4, 65 gru 6 21:53
/dev/ttyS1

Why /dev/ttyS0? This device is often "reserved" for a mice.
I've ps2 mouse on /dev/psaux but modem is on /dev/ttyS1.
As a ttyS0 doesn't want to work!!!
Usual wvdial can scan ports and "find" properly modem.

It looks as a DNS problem. In /etc/resolv.conf must be right DNS
server (depends on your ISP).
