Hard to say, it could be a misconfigured chat script or maybe you need
PAP or CHAP authentication.  Yes, your login and password may be accepted
and you still need PAP or CHAP - although usually without implementing
the login/password part of the chat script.

To check on whether there are PAP or CHAP authenication requests from
the ISP use the pppd debug option and look in /var/log/debug (usually).
If there is no file or no messages, then put

*.=debug                                        /usr/log/debug

in /etc/syslog.conf and try again.

If there is no sign of such an authentication request then look for
something wrong in the ppp-on and ppp-on-dialer scripts.  Post them if
you need to do so.

Hi,
I had the same problem. I installed KDE and used thier kpppd program, which is
a lot easier to use then scripts. Try to change to PAP in you confs.
