Assuming you're using one of the two pppd kits off of puma, this isn't
correct. The scripts assume that pppd is in root's path. They'd have to
say "/etc/ppp/pppd" to be assuming that pppd is in /etc/ppp (you don't
have to have cd'd to /etc/ppp to fire up ppp).

Check out how root's path is set up. Root usually has /usr/sbin (where
pppd lives) in its path.

> ln /etc/ppp/pppd /sbin/pppd

Uhm, pppd lives in /usr/sbin. And shouldn't the two files be reversed
(as otherwise you're creating the /sbin/pppd file)? I'd recomend a
symbolic link if you choose to do this.

What exactly does it do? The modem connects, but ppp never really fires
up? Check out the chat script, and make sure you're using PAP or CHAP or
a login prompt as appropriate. Also, some places which use the username
password login sequence don't need the "ppp" at the command prompt.

Take care,
