What distribution of Linux are you using?  What version?  (RedHat 6.1
perhaps?)

What error messages are you getting in the log files?  Depending on the
distribution you use you may find the log entries in the file
/var/log/ppp.log.  Once you find the file try "tailing" it with "tail -f
/var/log/ppp.log".  Tell us what you see.
