What is odd in that log is that the remote address is a private address and not a public address which is what an ISP would use. This is also confirmed in the next few lines which states their DNS address is also private. It also lists the second DNS as 255.255.255.255 which is a netmask address and not a valid ip address. Have you entered the DNS addresses given to you by the isp in your /etc/resolv.conf? If they are hooking you to their private network with a private address, which is very rare but not unheard of, then they should also tell you what the gateway address of their network is.

Most ISP's use Dynamic IP's, Default GateWay, and Manually configured DNS which may have a host or not... You will have to get the DNS addresses from your ISP as well as the POP3, SMTP, NNTP servers for mail and news...

Also make sure your using PAP/CHAP for Authintication...

This my friends is why Linux has not been able to approach the usage of Windows. This
problem has not been addressed in the last four years . That's when i started to try out
Linux. Just go google any of these kppp problems and you can read about them for the rest of
your life. For some unknown reason at least three kppp files are configured WRONG when
installed. So countless individuals download Linux ,as i did over the years, install it but
are unable to access the internet via dial-up. So it's bye bye Penguin.
If you have a normal dial-up account with an ISP, i should be able to show you what to do.
Let me know.

dhlawrence this is not a totally true statement. Nearly every isp supplies automated M$ based apps that setup the networking to their system. Most users are therefore blissfully unaware of how to set up a connection manually. I started using the internet in its infancy in the mid '90's when modems connections had to be set up manually in the same way that kppp is set up. I didn't have a problem with kppp apart from the noauth switch on connection. This error wasn't hard to correct. If you want to learn about what you are doing and how it works then use Linux else don't bother and stay with M$.

I use Mepis 3.3 every day to do 90% of my surfing. Mepis is far and away the best distro
i have tried. But.........
If linux is ever to gain a big chunk of desktop usage,it must fix this kppp bull***t. When
a person puts in all the CORRECT data to configure kppp and then it does not work, it's
bye bye penguin. The vast majority are not going to do what i did,that is spend over 3hrs
reading forum posts brought up by google on linux kppp problems. Lucky for me, i found
a post where the guy had the answers and i was surfing 5 minutes later. What irks the
hell out of me is that this could easily be fixed but for some reason these geeks refuse
to do it.
I think they like linux being a tinkertoy.
