Connecting to Provider's Terminal Server w/PPP

Connecting to Provider's Terminal Server w/PPP

I have a linux box that i want to connect to my Internet Provider. My provider
has a Terminal Server and Has set me up with PPP.  I have Dip-uri.3.3.7m.  
Everything seems to work fine. It connects, logs in, starts the PPP mode, but
nothing gets added to my ifconfig or route.  
My provider has a 10-line roll-over system, so each time I call in, my Address
is different.  My script takes care of this with 'get $locip remote 20'.  That
part echos back ok.  What am I missing.  Does something else have to be added
to my hosts file or any other file?
I do notice that if I do a 'ifconfig ppp0' it comes back with address 0.0.0.0,
etc..., but when I try to assign is an address when my dip is complete, it
won't let me set it.
