I've used pppconfig for 12 yr's and it has worked every time, but if you 
are having a problem, it must be in your config script, your isp 
username, wrong phone number, or password...Check those first, since it 
does dialup, it has to be one of them that is wrong...

Now once you get it to work, I suggest that you install PPPSTATUS, it 
will show your IP ADDR, and that you are connected etc...
