Dialing into Earthlink, get the following: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/ttyS0, Hangup (SIGHUP)

Dialing into Earthlink.net.  Using Caldera on an AMD K-6 233, external modem.  Have tried using ppp-on and pppd with a logon script.  Appears to work, I get the: ppp0 <--> /dev/ttyS0,  and then hangs up for no apparent reason:  Hangup (SIGHUP).  Is the hangup originating from them or my PC?  Is the loopback preventing the DHCP from working, how do I shut it off if so?
