Hm... What does /var/log/messages have to say? Oftentimes useful
information is appended to that file by the pppd program.

You're not making a connection... Tell us what /var/log/messages says near
the end, after trying to connect. Also, maybe run:

ifconfig ppp0

and see what that says, and post it to the list. (Do this after connecting
as well.)
