Error 8 The connect script failed (returned a non-zero exit
status).

Hard to say without seeing the chat script. The chat script looked
for something, and didn't find it.

Error 6 The serial port could not be locked.

Look in /etc/ppp/options - is there a 'lock' option? Or more likely,
did you 'kill' the previous connection attempt with a 'kill -9' ? Don't
do that.

for more info type:

man pppd

at a terminal
