What is the message before this one?  

> Apr 27 14:49:36 localhost pppd[2262]: Terminating on signal 15.

Did the modem actually dial out and login properly?  I'm assuming it did.

If you're using kppp, turn on debugging when asked (or add "debug" to
/etc/ppp/options if you're trying to connect with "pppd &")

If you have minicom installed, try going through the steps manually.  When
the login is complete, do you get gibberish?  If not, try entering
"ppp"...  if you now get gibberish, then your ISP's terminal server needs
to be told to go into ppp mode.

Let us know the answer to these questions and we can focus on the next
steps.
