You know thats strange. Every system that I have dialed into using ppp had a
set of prompts going. Are you certain that when you dial into your isp using
minicom that there arent prompts like 

login:
password:

and things like that ?

Yep,
you'll see garbage on the screen in minicom when the other side is trying to
get ppp happening.

The sample scripts that come with ppp version 2.2.0f which seems to be the
standard now are pretty straight forward. 

Try investigating more with minicom to find out what your isp is expecting
from your end.

Check out:

http://203.29.72.65/other/rhtips/ppp/ppp-tip.html

I used what's on that page and it has worked like a charm.

Especially cool is that you can monitor the stuff by
doing a "tail -f /var/log/messages" while the connection
is being made.

This works for me. Two files, one to run pppd and one containing a  chat
script.
The first uses the second.  To log in I run monash2.ppp


amii@HouseMartin:~>> cat monash2.ppp

#!/bin/sh
/usr/sbin/pppd /dev/cua1 38400 -detach debug crtscts modem defaultroute
noipdefault connect  andychat



amii@HouseMartin:~>> cat andychat

/usr/sbin/chat -v  -t60 "" ATDT99265901 CONNECT "" Username: azban2
Password: yourpasswordhere ready: ppp


hope this is useful :-)
