using ppp(8), try to follow the MANUAL DIALLING section. run ppp w/o
arguments, and enter your defaults, one by one, making sure none of them
cause error.

if you are running this as a non-privileged user, make sure you are in
group `network'.

the `default:' section of ppp.conf will still be loaded, so make sure it
contains *only* the `set log' line, nothing else.

ppp should handle chap/pap automatically, so no need to disable one or
the other. just make sure to use `authname' and `authkey' instead of the
full login blurb.

can you get it to the point where the prompt goes from `ppp ON <host>' to
`PPP ON <host>'? if so, can you ping your isp? if so, can you ping
anything else?

if you can ping your isp, but nothing else, it is possibly a routing
error, indicative of that `Add route failed...' line you're seeing. if
it's the case, use route to manually add a default route (your isp's
gateway) (or just add it to /etc/mygate and reboot).

if that doesn't work, you're going to have to go through your ppp logs
to try and find the problem. in my honest, i would try to do this
manually until you find the problem - then you can worry about setting
up ppp.conf.
