I don't use Redhat but I would hazard a guess that the problem is to do
with your chatscript. I assume that the Redhat control panel gives you a
facility to edit the chatscript, make sure that it is looks something
like (the order and type of prompts will depend on your provider):

ogin: yourlogin
word: yourpassword
ppp (or whatever is returned just before you get the PPP bumf).

It would be useful if you mail me the last few lines of the
/var/log/syslog file (or /var/log/messages if that is where Redhat logs
ppp stuff).
