[ale] PPP on Linux

Hello,
I am trying to connect  to a PPP internet  account  from my linux box. I tried
using Seyon, but after the initial login dialog, I get the message 

"PPP session from (...) to (...) begin ...."  followed by random  characters
(garbage). The characters keep echoing in bursts. Entering F7 (as my
internet provider suggested) did not fix this.

I tried running the "sample.dip"  script which is given in the dip man page, 
(with the correct variables), but the login always fails. I also tried slattach
with no success. 

What is the proper way to dial up using dip from the command line ?
Do I need to change any configuration files for this to work ? Any 
help/advise on this will be very much appreciated.

Thanks,
Roopa.
