OK, suggestions:
1. How are you trying to make the PPP connection? With minicom &/or seyon?
That's the hard way, and tricky to get right ... the timing on starting pppd
is touchy. Much better to use a real PPP dialer like chat, if you're not
doing that now.
2. If you are using chat or diald or something similar, take a look at your
log (usually /var/log/messages) and see what chat (or whatever) and pppd are
reporting about the attempt. If you can't figure this out yourself, post a
followup that includes ALL the log messages from one attempt.
3. Also tell us what your pppd options look like -- could be in
/etc/ppp/options or on the command line that calls pppd (from a script like
/usr/sbin/ppp-on).
Sorry to be so vague, but your question was pretty vague, and there are a
lot of ways to set up PPP on a Linux system, so I and others can't really
guess which one you are using.
