In which case, you should have rather more verbose output. Post it.
My general suggestion is to look at the Network Administrator's Guide
(NAG). You should have a version under /usr/docs/ldp-nag (or can
install it with the appropriate package).
You can also access the PPP chapter online at:
http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/linag2/book/ch08.html
If you can't identify the problem through your ppp/chat scripts, try
manually connecting to your ISP via minicom.
When I say "could be a lot of things", there may be specific
modifications in your ISP configurations, such as how you specify,
quote, or preface your userid and/or password. Seeing the interactive
output is very helpful in debugging these issues. See also your ISPs
support pages. Almost *all* ISPs now provide instructions on how to
connect via GNU/Linux, even if they don't officially support it.
Cheers.
