ppp is used for a direct extencion of the network. It alows you to
run web brousers, ftp programs ET. on your machine and work like you
are use to. Shell acounts alow you to connect to a specific machine
and run programs that are located on that machine. All you have done
there is put your computer as a terminal on that machine.

If you are trying to connect by PPP then you need to go into the
network configuration and activate your PPP network configuration.
Another way to activate it is with usernet program.
