I have been getting this problem with my iMac for the last couple of months.
So much so, that I use a Win2K machine to dial up(no problems whatsover),
and network the two together.  Messy, but it works.

My iMac had no probs connecting for the first year or so.  I can't work it
out.  Strange thing is, when I tell Remote Access to use a terminal window,
I get a **HUGE** scrolling list of nonsense, instead of Login: Password:
etc.  I **don't** get this when I dial up to my company network using the
same procedure (ie. just change the phone number)
