You need to read man ppp some more. Using the form of the command "ppp -auto myisp" puts ppp in silence mode, you will not get an console messages that ppp is "on", you have to look in the /var/log/ppp.log for your log messages. Use just "ppp" command alone to go into manual mode and then you will get console messages. You left out all the details about your environment. Before reposting get all the details together and post them with your question.
