Hi,

it would be helpful to point out where the problem is if you
could attach the debug prints when PPP is trying to connect.
You need to run PPP with the debug option for and if
PPP becomes a background process, you'd find the messages
in the /var/log/messages file (otherwise you'd see the messages
on the console itself)
