This family of TERMINAL servers needs a special configuration.
I believe that ppp is not the right front end.
I would start by using minicom or kermit or whatever is handy to
initiate a telnet session, not a tcp session.
If this works then it is time to carefully read the instructions of the
authority which has given access to the server,

Usually a password prompt would be expected to initiate a login & Password
BEFORE initiation of any PPP
Better get info on the real number of the PPP server

Rima,
One way of troubleshooting your connection is to open up another terminal and
take a look at /var/log/messages and look for an error message from there.
Another possibility is that the file /etc/resolv.conf does not have the
For instance, I use Awesomenet INC
http://www.awesomenet.net/support_serversettings.html
as my ISP and it has the the following
DNS for all area codes
Primary: 168.215.176.2
Secondary: 12.176.80.9
It sufficed to add two lines to /etc/resolv.conf
nameserver 168.215.176.2
nameserver 12.176.80.9
Check the DNS(Domain Name Servers) for your ISP and add that to the
/etc/resolv.conf file. Otherwise, If the issue is not resolved,
please feel free to take a look at Jacques post-install page:

Hope this cures your problem.
