Thanks

I get the status of the modem saying CONNECTED but then i get the message that COULDN't start.

I just get this and nothing else.

Is it that i have to pass some parameter to it or something.

If you are trying to connect to your ISP as a normal user (i.e. not root), then you may need to make pppd suid. Try this (as root):

chmod +s `which pppd`

It would also help if you posted error messages etc. as we can only guess at your problem.

chmod -s `which pppd` didn't work

it says
sending termination signal 15
and then says
Operation timed out , PPPD couldn't start.
