It sounds as if you are looking at the chat dialog in
/var/log/messages, and that works correctly. Have you enabled
debugging in pppd and looked at the lcp messages that go back and
forth on the line? You need to add the debug flag to the ppp
configuration (either in /etc/ppp/options or the diald config file)
AND add a line to /etc/syslog.conf
daemon.* /var/log/ppp
NOTE! The whitespace in the above line needs to be nothing but TABS!
Restart (kill -1) syslogd, try to connect, and see what is in /var/log/ppp.
