Try using PAP authentication, since most ISP's use it.
Also check your kernel version against the pppd version. 2.4 kernels
need the 2.4
ppp daemon. And have kernel ppp stuff compiled as modules.
Be sure you're using an external modem (that has complete hardware
stuff inside,
w/c is most probably complete anyway...) or an internal modem that
has modules
for Linux use.
Call your ISP if everything else doesn't work. If they're open
enough, they'll
give you some tips and even support for configuring ppp on your box.
Sometimes you need to tweak your ppp configuration some more. It took
me a year
to get the perfect recipe in ppp (I only got it right 6 months ago),
but it was
well worth it, as networked operations are way better in Linux than
in Windows.

connection - now I can use Linux at home as well]
Don't give up!
Persistence is the key...
