Sounds like the host isn't up.  Is your TX light flashing (or if 
you've got an internal modem, enable tcp/ip logging) ?

The latest versions of ppp only read up to 20 packets from the tun 
device, if it can't send them anywhere, it stops reading 'till either 
it sends them or they die of old age (after 2 minutes by default).
