There are LOTS of possible problems for this. Most likely is that you have got either the local or remote address specifications wrong and the PPP negotiation throws up as a result and hangs up the modem. If you use the command ``set debug phase lcp'' you should be able to debug the situation further. I think this will dump a log into /var/log/ppp.log, which you can go to vty4 (the emergency holographic shell) and look at. Sorry I can't help you more, but PPP is a complicated beast...
