Once you have logged into your provider and have PPP running on his end, 
type a ~p to start packet mode on your end.  

If it abruptly hangs up on you, maybe you need to figure out PAP or 
CHAP.  If it's something simple like PAP, before you do 'term' type the 
following:

ppp> set authname whoeverIam
ppp> set authkey  my_pap_password
ppp> term

...and then do all the other stuff.  CHAP is almost assuredly different, 
unfortunately I don't use it so I can't help you without going home and 
doing the ol' RTFM myself.

Good luck and Godspeed,

Brian
