Are you using regular ol' dialup ppp? Or are you using PPPoE / PPPoA? If you just want dialup, use the tool "rp3" in the GUI or "wvdialconf" / "wvdial" from the command line (rp3 is somewhat of a frontend to both tools). Check the man pages for all three for more info.
(Note: if you happen to be with any AT&T service, you may need to use "Stupid Mode = 1" in wvdial.conf... don't ask me why, but evidently AT&T does something stupid... This is from experience with that provider.)
