Ping is an ICMP packet. Many ISP's do not allow pings and traceroutes. "sendto:
Operation not permitted" indicates that. This could be the reason why you cannot
ping. Try to send a TCP packet. Say a mail or http request. That should get
through.
Also you must set up a default route to the ppp0 interface you just created by
dialing into your provider. pppd can do this for you. You put a the word
"defaultroute" in a separate line in your /etc/ppp/options (or
/etc/ppp/options.ttyS0 .....file).
the manual command is:
/sbin/route add default ppp0
Check your route also:
/sbin/route -n
If you are still having problems, post again. (Would be nice to hear, if my
suggestions were right)

Unfortunately, I was not able to do anything else. When I had my ppp connection
working previously, I was able to ping, and everything else you'd expect to be able to
do. Since my ISP is Dartmouth College, I'm pretty sure they support pings and
traceroutes, and all that stuff.
I've included the output of route -n, as well as a transcript of /var/log/ppp.log.
There is a message in the ppp log about an unsupported protocol being received.
Could that be something about PAP vs. CHAP?
I simply have no idea what I'm doing. :(
Thanks for your help, past and future,
