What happens when you try this:

ppp

term

atdt1234567     (where 1234567 is replaced by your ISP's phone #)

Your modem should dial, and you should be presented with a login prompt.
If you can login successfully in term mode, you have an error in your ppp
script--so send along the latest version.

If you can't login in term mode, you have other problems which someone
more experienced than I may be able to help you with.
