Yes. You have gone too far. They want you to run ppp before that point.

use the command
/usr/sbin/pppd /dev/ttyS0 57600 debug connect " /usr/sbin/chat -v '' AT
OK AT####### CONNECT '\d\c'"

(all on one line and make sure that you use the correct quote marks.)

And you should be connected.

See
axion.physics.ubc.ca/ppp-linux.html

for more details.

]4. I set up my /etc/resolv.conf like this:
]    domain intersatx.net
Not needed, but no harm This is the domain your sysem tacks on if you
give it a one word name. So when you want the address of beezle, it will
search for beezle.intersatx.net
]    nameserver 207.235.95.4
]    nameserver 207.235.95.5
]5. I set up /etc/host.conf like this:
]    order hosts,bind
]    multi on
]6. My /etc/ppp/pap-secrets:
]    # Secrets for authentication using PAP
]    # client                 server         secret                       IP
]addresses
]    <my username>  *                  <my password>
]7. My /etc/ppp/options:

]  -detach
]  modem

Use the ttyS# instead.

]  lock
]  crtscts
]  defaultroute

You probably do not ned the next three two and they might cause trouble. 
]  asyncmap 0
]  mtu 552
]  mru 552

Probably better to use user <YourISPname> because name is a priviledged
option, but it makes no real diffeence.

]  name <my ISP user name>
