To get your ppp working, do a use a command like this
-------------------------------------------------------------------
pppd /dev/tty01 115200 defaultroute connect 'chat -vf /etc/connect'
-------------------------------------------------------------------
and then you will have to make a chat script in /etc/connect that goes
something like this
-------------------------------------------------------------------
'' ATDT5556969
CONNECT ''
name: joe
assword: secret
-------------------------------------------------------------------
of cource you will have to change the phone number, login, password, and
the modem port.
