Hmm, can you list the configuration files for us? ("ls -l /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts") You also shouldn't need to use adsl-start directly, just "ifup ppp0" or "ifdown ppp0" or the network control program. Also, please give us the contents of the file /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ppp0 without the "USER=3D'...'" line.
