Have you tried using pon/poff directly? If it exits within a few seconds without error, it’s probably connected. To make sure, check the contents of /var/log/syslog and /var/log/messages and see if pppd has successfully connected.
If it has connected and the Internet still works, you may have the same problem I had, as described above. A default route does not get set, and I had to write a script to set the default route.
Also, make sure you’re not connected via Ethernet or WiFi.
