That error message is to do with 'authentication' between the two
modems. I can't remember what the fix is but there is a real good
tutorial about setting up 'pppd' entitled: "PPPd Dial on Demand,
and IP Masquerading" - which I think you will find on the RedHat
site - This is one article which discusses this problem.
I have no doubt there are others.
