Then it is not connecting to your ISP for some reason.  Did you wait long
enough for the modem to dial etc.?  You should see something like the
following when the dial up and authentication has successfully completed.

Working in interactive mode=20
Using interface: tun0=20
Warning: No default entry found in config file.=20
Phase: PPP Started (interactive mode).=20
ppp ON foo> dial=20
Phase: bundle: Establish=20

Phase: deflink: Connected!=20

ppp ON foo> Phase: deflink: dial -> carrier=20
Phase: deflink: /dev/cuaa1: CD detected=20
Phase: deflink: carrier -> login=20
Phase: deflink: login -> lcp=20
Phase: bundle: Authenticate=20
Phase: deflink: his =3D PAP, mine =3D none=20

Ppp ON foo> Phase: Pap Input: SUCCESS ()=20
Phase: deflink: lcp -> open=20
Phase: bundle: Network=20
PPp ON foo>=20

(notice how the Ps turn to capitals to show which stages have completed.)

Are there any lights on the modem or can you hear it dialing out?

It's the second option in the list:
URL                 Specify some other ftp site by URL

I'm sure it _was_ called 'other' :)

You shouldn't need to do that anyway as the ppp seems to be the problem.

You should continue to write to freebsd-questions as some other reader
may be able to spot exactly what the problem is.

Good luck
John.
