Download the ppp-howto. Basically your carrier is starting the ppp
interface (garbled text) and what you need to do is start pppd to
accept this information. If you read the ppp-howto and don't get
it or want to try another way try downloading ezppp or xisp and
these will help you get online. I have used ezppp very successfully.
Try this and check back.
