The ``enable msext'' bit has changed in ppp-2.X. Check the
README.changes file that came with the distribution. Of course
there's no point in enabling this as you're not providing NetBIOS
name services to your ISP :-) As it happens though, the existence of
the ``set ns'' in ppp 2.X enables the option now anyway....
The dodgy bit of your config looks like the ``set dial'' line. Is it
all actually a single line in your config file ?
ppp-2.X supports line continuations by putting a ``\'' as the last
character on the line. Ppp-1.X does not.
To diagnose things further, try starting ppp (``ppp sr'') and typing
``show modem'' and ``show link''. Are the dial script values correct ?
