Please read the PPP HOWTO and other relevant docs.

What you need to do first is to enable debugging by putting "debug" and
"kdebug 25" into your ppp options file and watching on the right syslog
channels.  This will let you determine whether the underlying link is
working (i.e., what you put in on one end does come out on the other
end) and if so, whether the remote server is responding or not.
