Yes, but I'd also insert "-v" in the chatscript line in /etc/ppp/peers/provider so it reads: connect "/usr/sbin/chat -f -v /etc/chatscripts/provider" That will make chat go "verbose" and you'll be able to see from the log exactly what's happening. Take a look at /etc/chatscripts/provider too and ensure it makes sense. -- Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.
