Help me setup ADSL please



I can't seem to get it working.

I have my eth0 configured OK I think.
I typed this to get it up: #ifconfig eth0 up
and now #ifconfig shows:
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:E0:18:03:4F:FC
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:490 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:490 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:100
          Interrupt:10 Base address:0xd400

Then I did the following:
Edit the file /etc/ppp/pap-secrets so there is a line like this at end:
mdevin@bigpond bigpond mypassword
Edit the file /etc/ppp/peers/dsl-provider adding a line that reads:
user mdevin@bigpond
Edit the file /etc/network/interfaces adding a line that says:
iface eth0 inet dhcp
Edit the file /etc/init.d/ppp and change each occurrence of the word
'provider' to 'dsl-provider'
Create an empty file /etc/ppp/ppp_on_boot by touching it
Start ADSL with #/etc/init.d/ppp start

When I have a look in the /var/log/syslog file it shows:
Apr  7 21:51:42 debian pppd[1796]: pppd 2.4.0 started by root, uid 0
Apr  7 21:51:42 debian pppd[1796]: Using interface ppp0
Apr  7 21:51:42 debian pppd[1796]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/pts/4
Apr  7 21:51:42 debian pppoe[1797]: PADS: Service-Name: ''
Apr  7 21:51:42 debian pppoe[1797]: PPP session is 2409
Apr  7 21:51:43 debian pppd[1796]: PAP authentication failed
Apr  7 21:51:43 debian pppoe[1797]: Session terminated -- received PADT
from peer
Apr  7 21:51:43 debian pppd[1796]: Modem hangup
Apr  7 21:51:43 debian pppd[1796]: Connection terminated.

Can anyone help me here?
Perhaps someone could show me what these files should look like:
/etc/ppp/pap-secrets
/etc/ppp/peers/dsl-provider
/etc/network/interfaces

Thanks.

Mark.
