Your negotiations look good - except:

> Mar 28 16:23:46 tinlizzie ppp[298]: tun0: Command: worldnet: add 0 0 
> 204.127.129.1/0

You should replace that line with ``add default HISADDR''.

And with the above line correct, you can remove these two lines in 
ppp.linkup (you don't need ppp.linkup at all unless you're using 
other profiles).

And the host is talking.

So, everything looks pretty good.  What does ``netstat -rn'' say when 
the link is up ?  Also, how does ``ping 12.68.42.1'' fair (replacing 
the IP number with whatever's mentioned in the ``hisaddr = '' line 
just after the LayerUp in the above diagnostics) ?

If the ping works, try pinging something more adventurous, but using 
an IP number.  Perhaps your problem is just that you've got the wrong 
DNS entries in /etc/resolv.conf.  Your configuration is asking 
Worldnet to confirm that 204.127.129.1 and 204.127.160.1 are the 
correct values, but Worldnet does not support your request.  Try 
adding the lines

  nameserver 204.127.129.1
  nameserver 204.127.160.1

to /etc/resolv.conf manually and see if that helps.

Cheers.
