General, non-ozemail-specific tip:
Have a look in your /var/log/messages. This is where the ppp daemon
will be logging to on RedHat. A successfull connection will look
similar to:
Mar 27 14:24:15 localhost pppd[31501]: pppd 2.4.0 started by root, uid 0
Mar 27 14:24:16 localhost chat[31506]: abort on (BUSY)
Mar 27 14:24:16 localhost chat[31506]: abort on (NO CARRIER)
Mar 27 14:24:16 localhost chat[31506]: abort on (VOICE)
Mar 27 14:24:16 localhost chat[31506]: abort on (NO DIALTONE)
Mar 27 14:24:16 localhost chat[31506]: abort on (NO DIAL TONE)
Mar 27 14:24:16 localhost chat[31506]: abort on (NO ANSWER)
Mar 27 14:24:16 localhost chat[31506]: send (ATZ^M)
Mar 27 14:24:16 localhost chat[31506]: expect (OK)
Mar 27 14:24:16 localhost chat[31506]: ATZ^M^M
Mar 27 14:24:16 localhost chat[31506]: OK
Mar 27 14:24:16 localhost chat[31506]: -- got it
Mar 27 14:24:16 localhost chat[31506]: send (ATDT12345678^M)
Mar 27 14:24:16 localhost chat[31506]: expect (CONNECT)
Mar 27 14:24:44 localhost chat[31506]: ATDT12345678^M^M
Mar 27 14:24:44 localhost chat[31506]: CONNECT
Mar 27 14:24:44 localhost chat[31506]: -- got it
Mar 27 14:24:44 localhost chat[31506]: send (\d)
Mar 27 14:24:45 localhost pppd[31501]: Serial connection established.
Mar 27 14:24:45 localhost pppd[31501]: Using interface ppp0
Mar 27 14:24:45 localhost pppd[31501]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/ttyS0
Mar 27 14:24:52 localhost pppd[31501]: local IP address a.b.c.d
Mar 27 14:24:52 localhost pppd[31501]: remote IP address w.x.y.z
After the date stamp, you've got the hostname (localhost here), then the
program name with it's Process ID in the brackets. Finally the info
being logged.
The important lines to look for are logs from pppd and chat. How far
through the process are you getting? Post the relevant bits from your
logs, and we'll see what we can do. :-)

of His own devising, which might be compared, from the perspective of
any of the other players (ie., everybody), to being involved in an
obscure and complexversion of poker in a pitch-dark room, with blank
cards, for infinite stakes, with a Dealer who won't tell you the rules,
and who smiles all the time.
