Well..it's hard to help without more information.

what program are you using to connect?

have you tried to connect completely by hand using minicom as per
the PPP HOWTO?

What is coming up in your /var/log/messages file?

First thing to do is to go through the PPP HOWTO and connect by hand.

If that doesn't work, then post saying what you did, how far you got,
and add relevant stuff from /var/log/messages.

IF it does work, then you know it's the program you are using for PPP,
or your authentication, so start looking at those.
