well, I've seccessfully connected my linux with PPP to my host.
I've dialed upwith minicom, and quited using Ctrl+A, Q (not X - without 
reset) and then I run my pppd. my command line is:
/sbin/pppd /dev/cua2 modem crtscts {MY IP here}:{MY Hose IP here} +ua /etc/ppp/pap-secrets netmask {MY Netmask here} defaultroute

after that, everything works great.

BTW: the /etc/ppp/pap-secrets file format is:
one line with the user name, and the next line with the password.

hope I've helpped..
