From your post I think one of the following are likely:

1) your modem is broken
2) your modem cable is broken
3) your phone service is broken
4) you are using something other than the standard System 8.5
   software to handle your PPP connection
5) something is interfering with the PPP connection.

The standard PPP script to use for any US Robotics modem is the
US Robotics Universal script.  That should work for you.

Find the FAQ for this group at my web site:

and see if it gives you new information.  If it doesn't, then
post again telling us which US Robotics modem you have and whether
it has a problem connecting to any other phone number.

Simon.
