Default Help with Dial-Up.

I have searched and searched literally for the past 2 days, and asked on linux specific forums with no luck. I finally got an external serial modem. I am using ppp to connect. The modem will dial, and you can hear it squealing like it is connecting, and then theres silence for about 10-15 seconds and then you just hear the modem disconnect. At first I thought maybe I got my username/password incorrect, because it is LONG (I use RASspy.exe to work around NetZero's software). So I copy it directly into notepad and open it in Ubuntu and it is correct. Next, I thought maybe the DNS settings should be set to dynamic rather than static, so I changed that. No luck. Then after some more research, I found that people couldn't connect unless they disabled their network, so I disabled network eth0. Still nothing. Then I found that someone had used CHAP authentication rather than PAP, which is what it was set on. So I changed that and STILL no luck. Then, I used the DNS that Windows DUN connected to, and set the IP to static using the DNS. That didn't help either.

Can anyone help? Thanks!
