Any ideas as to what could be causing this? Well, for starters, you have to tell /etc/ppp/ppp.conf which com port your modem is on. You didn't say if it was an external. Mine is on com2, which is /dev/cuaa1. If your ISP uses a simple setup, you add your user name and password on the line you add for set login. I use pmdemand setup. Most of this you can do interactively by reading the ppp primer and issuing the commands from the ppp> prompt. The choices depend and whether you have a static IP address or dynamic. When you get it right, it dials very quickly.
