Read the /var/log/ppp.log, it will show you what response it's waiting on from your ISP and it will then time out if it doesn't receive it. Mine was waiting for a protocol response of ppp, but when it didn't receive it, it would time out and disconnect. I deleted the col: ppp in my script and it dials fine now.
