I just got dialup working on my ubuntu box at home two days ago.  I'm not sure 
what your problem is, but you can get some more clues by appending the line

debug

to your /etc/ppp/peers/provider file (or whatever peers file you are starting 
pppd with).  You can also see all of pppd's parameters with the line

dump

If you are starting pppd from the command line you can just pass these as 
arguments, too.

Grep /var/log/* for pppd and see if anything interesting turns up.  Also, do 
your /etc/ppp/chap-secrets and /etc/ppp/pap-secrets files have your user name 
and password in them?  Does pppd tell you you've authenticated successfully?

Sorry I can't give you more specific help.
