After you have checked your settings and done some testing of the
connection, and you still get a "waiting for carrier and disconnected,
ask him why and when the system will be back up so you can log on.

Your carrier is your ISP, seems from what you have posted that your ISP
is not responding. To test out the connection try this:
Taken from the article mentioned by Drew:
# /usr/sbin/ppp
ppp ON myhost> set log +debug (<-- this will fill your log's with lot
of info on whats happening)
ppp ON myhost> show physical
Name: deflink
State: closed
Device: N/A
Link Type: interactive
Connect Count: 0
Queued Packets: 0
Phone Number: N/A
Defaults:
Device List: "PPPoE:eth0"
Characteristics: sync, cs8, no parity, CTS/RTS off
CD check delay: device specific
Connect time: 0:00:00
0 octets in, 0 octets out
Overall 0 bytes/sec
ppp ON myhost> dial
ppp ON myhost>
Ppp ON myhost>
ppp ON myhost>
Example 2. A first run of ppp.
"Note how the first P of the ppp prompt becomes capitalized, indicating
that the LCP phase was successfully completed. The next phase,
authentication, fails, since you have not provided a username and
password yet."
(A Link Control Protocol (LCP) for establishing, configuring,
and testing the data-link connection.)
"If this first P fails to become capitalized, you need to look at
/var/log/ppp.log and figure out what went wrong. Since debugging output
was activated with set log +debug above, there should be lots of
information there. Sift through the file and pinpoint the exact point
of failure. I try to give some starting points in the Errors section
below."
At this point if everything works as expected, then go on and try with
papchap enabled: ( again from tutorial)
"You have completed the failed ppp run above, now you should be able to
go all the way, get authenticated and connected. This is what we do in
example 3. "
# /usr/bin/ppp papchap
ppp on myhost> set log +debug
ppp ON myhost> dial
ppp ON myhost>
Ppp ON myhost>
PPp ON myhost>
PPP ON myhost>
Example 3. A completed run of ppp.
"Note how the three Ps of the prompt are now capitalized, indicating
that you have successfully completed the LCP phase (first P), you are
successfully authenticated (second P), and your machine was assigned an
IP address (third P). This constitutes the complete PPP connection
process, and your machine is now online."

After you have checked your settings and done some testing of the
connection, and you still get a "waiting for carrier and disconnected,
ask him why and when the system will be back up so you can log on.

What better place to look to find out what the options are for.
Manpage that is.
Here's my rc.conf and my ppp.conf, also taken from the tutorial:
network_interfaces="lo0 ed0 ed1" # List of network interfaces (or
"auto").
ifconfig_lo0="inet 127.0.0.1" # default loopback device configuration.
ifconfig_ed0="up" # Sample alias entry.
ifconfig_ed1="inet 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0" # Sample IPX
address family entry.
#
# If you have any sppp(4) interfaces above, you might also want to set
# the following parameters. Refer to spppcontrol(8) for their meaning.
sppp_interfaces="" # List of sppp interfaces.
#sppp_interfaces="isp0" # example: sppp over ISDN
#spppconfig_isp0="authproto=chap myauthname=foo myauthsecret='top
secret' hisauthname=some-gw hisauthsecret='another secret'"
# User ppp configuration.
ppp_enable="YES" # Start user-ppp (or NO).
ppp_mode="ddial" # Choice of "auto", "ddial", "direct" or "dedicated".
# For details see man page for ppp(8). Default is auto.
ppp_nat="NO" # Use PPP's internal network address translation or NO.
ppp_profile="papchap" # Which profile to use from /etc/ppp/ppp.conf.
#
# ppp.conf: PPPOE configuration
#
default:
#PPP over Ethernet
set device PPPoE:ed0
set speed sync
set mru 1492
set mtu 1492
disable acfcomp protocomp
deny acfcomp
set ctsrts off
set redial 5
# monitor line quality
enable lqr
# log just a bit
set log phase tun
# insert default route upon connection
add default HISADDR
# download /etc/resolv.conf
enable dns
papchap:
#
# edit the next three lines and replace the items in caps with
# the values which have been assigned by your ISP.
#
set authname ******
set authkey ******
Mucho "cruft" removed compared to some of the other PPPoE examples I
have come across.
This works quite well for me, the exception being my ISP of coarse.
Which too my disapointment, is not working as well as I was hoping they
would.
As you will notice in my rc.conf file I have not given my ed0 an IP
address, as I have found most of the "other" tutorials have suggested,
but as below, some of them do not understand why you need to give one
in any case.

Hope this all helps with those PPPoE blue's.....
