It covers System 6 but the procedure is 99% the same for System 7. </Shameless Plug> http://www.mandrake.demon.co.uk/Apple/sys6net/sys6net.html My instinct says that you have flow control wrong in PPP. Do you have a hardware handshaking modem cable or a plain one? Have you deleted the PPP Preferences file? Have you purged MacTCP Prep and MacTCP DNR? Do you restart the Mac after changing MacTCP?
