Hard to tell from your post but:

Are you using OT/PPP? (I assume you are, since this is what comes with your
G3).

Have you set up a connection via OT/PPP before?

If so, did it work then?

If not, have you since you wrote that tried to do so, using the Mac set-up
dialogue? I did it for a friend and it worked well; you just have to do
one, very careful manually typed in connect session and record it. Then you
just tell it to use a script to connect.

Sorry not to be more help, but others will undoubtedly come to the rescue
more effectively.
