Dr,
My first suggestion would be to upgrade the code on your router so that
you're running a newer code than 11.0. You'll find that ppp debugs are a lot
easier to read in 11.3 and higher, and that you have a lot more
functionality available to you.
The configuration of a modem on the AUX port isn't too difficult, and you
shouldn't have too much of a problem if you have the cabling right, a good
modem (my preference is USR Sportster), and the correct configuration.
Configure the modem with an appropriate initialization string (get this from
the modem manufacturer) using the everse telnet procedure s outlined here;
http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/76/9.html
The line aux 0 is the physical port, and will not take any ppp commands. The
logical configuration goes on the logical interface (async interface) which
you will ned to create. To create an async interface that corresponds to the
AUX port, type in 'show line' at the exec prompt. The number that precedes
the word AUX in this output is what you use for the async interface. So for
example, if that number is "1", your configuration would look somehing like
this:
!
hostname Router
enable pasword cisco
!
chat-script test "" "atdt\T" TIMEOUT 60 CONNECT \c
!
Interface async 1
ip address negotiated
encapsulation ppp
dialer in-band
dialer-group 1
dialer idle-timeout 300
dialer string 5123245
async default routing
async mode interactive
ppp authenication chap pap callin
ppp chap hostname MyUsername
ppp chap password MyPassword
ppp pap sent-username MyUsername password Mypassword
!
dialer-list 1 protocol ip permit
!
line aux 0
modem inout
flowcontrol harware
transport input all
speed 115200
script dialer test
!
You can find lots of information on this and other configs on CCO if you
know your way around it.A good place to start is the Dial Access
Configuration Cookbook

Good luck on your CCNA!!
