Have you read the PPP docs?
You will need to edit the PPP & Chat bits to put your ISP's number, your
login and passwd.

It is a good idea to ring your ISP on a terminal proggie first (or under
Win, etc) to check their login procedure matches the scripts.

I had to change 'ogin' to 'sername' and have Chat throw a 1 back when it
saw PPP on the login to start PPP.
