1--> Don't know what to do! Starting pppd and hoping for the best.
2--> Starting pppd at Wed Jun 11 23:12:03 2003
3--> pid of pppd: 1577
4--> Disconnecting at Wed Jun 11 23:12:33 2003
5--> The PPP daemon has died: PPP negotiation failed (exit code = 10)
6--> man pppd explains pppd error codes in more detail.
7--> I guess that's it for now, exiting
8--> The PPP daemon has died. (exit code = 10)

'man pppd' and scroll down a bit - you'll find all the exit codes listed there. By the looks of it your modem failed to establish a connection. Can you actually dial out with your modem?

i am new at this so thanks for your help!

yes i dialed my cell phone and it works...i am just not able to connect.

and do you mean to ran 'man pppd' and i will see the exit codes and then what do i do when i find it?
