Steve-

Someone suggested on this list before to use wvdial. I was going
through similar problems as you; then I downloaded wvdial and 30
minutes, one simple compile, and a config entry later and I was
connected. It's a simple tool anticipates several ISPs login
procedures and does the dirty work for you. It doesn't claim to be
fail safe, but it worked pretty quickly for me. 

There is certainly good value in getting under the hood and tweaking
til you get it "just right" to make that connection (or whatever); but
when you are really stuck and frustrated, sometimes the simple tools
that help you overcome your problem are a great shot in the arm. You
can always try later to figure it out the other way too. I'm sorry,
but I don't have the D/L URL handy.
