I don't remember exactly what I did to get mine going, but I did wind up having to use minicom to figure out what was happening. Then I think I had to make an entry in pap-secrets for freewwweb (I can't currently access that box to look around at the moment, so I'm having to do this by (poor) memory). BTW, I typically connect at 33,600 on my 33.6 modem, whereas with my campus connection I typically get 32xxxx. Of course, these are just the numbers reported by xisp; I've never actually done any monitoring.
