Make sure you are NOT attempting to look for a login or username prompt.
The 'chat' script used to control the modem should set one or two error
conditions, initialize the modem with the string recommended by the
modem manufacturer, then dial. When chat detects that the modems have
connected (usually CONNECT), exit the chat script, and start sending
ppp frames. This means a script that looks like this:

  ABORT BUSY ABORT 'NO CARRIER' "" AT&F1 OK ATDT2662902 CONNECT \d\c

Note: AT&F1 = USR/3Com AT&F (AT&F0) = Rockewll & Lucent SEE YOUR
MODEM MANUAL!

Connect script is confusing the ISP. What error message does pppd report?

And it's a poorly written application.

The dialin (chat) script is an abortion - you can sorta figure out
what it's doing by finding it's configuration. If all else fails, use
'grep' to search for the telephone number in the files below /etc/.

Compare that to the size of kppp, wvdial, or the other GUI "tools" that
try to do the same thing. If you are trying to connect to earthlink,
remember that they want 'chanow@earthlink.net' as a username, not just
'chanow', That's because they contract dialin points from many other
ISPs, and there has to be a way to tell whose customer is whose. For
example, you posted from 4.249.96.136, which is an IP owned by level3.com
not earthlink.
