On the line in ppp.conf dial "a bunch of modem commands... Make sure you put all the info on one line. Do not use \ to continue onto the next line. If you're using vi, just keep typing and it will automatically go to the next line. Also get rid of the set login line. Put your username after allow users to give yourself access to ppp. Change your phone number so its in this form 1234567890, without the parentheses. This should do it. Let me know if it is still being stubborn.
