Post the contents of /sbin/adsl-start or at least the part of it in the vicinity of line 216 and perhaps someone will figure this out.

the bit around line 216 is
Code:
# Monitor connection
TIME=0
while [ true ] ; do
/sbin/adsl-status $CONFIG > /dev/null 2>&1
# Looks like the interface came up
if [ $? = 0 ] ; then
# Print newline if standard input is a TTY
[ "$DEBUG" = "1" ] && tty -s && $ECHO " Connected!"
exit 0
fi
if test -n "$FORCEPING" ; then
[ "$DEBUG" = "1" ] && $ECHO -n "$FORCEPING"
else
[ "$DEBUG" = "1" ] && tty -s && $ECHO -n "$PING"
fi
sleep $CONNECT_POLL
TIME=`expr $TIME + $CONNECT_POLL`
if [ $TIME -gt $CONNECT_TIMEOUT ] ; then
break
fi
done
where
Code:
sleep $CONNECT_POLL
is line 216
the whole thing is

Look in /var/log/messages and see if your username or password is being rejected.
Since the script has debug provisions you could try running it from the command line. Something like:
env DEBUG=1 /sbin/adsl-start
( I don't know the exact syntax is it DEBUG=1 or DEBUG='1'?)

i then went and tried in debug mode like u said and got

I've only some lines of investigation, no solution for you.
It is worth investigating, as the error log suggests, whether your kernel supports N_HDLC. What is the simplest way to do this? I looked around on the web and there seems to be a module called n_hdlc.o. So try /sbin/lsmod and see if it is in the list.
The error in line 7 of /etc/modprobe.conf makes one curious. What does that line look like?
Are you using a built-in ethernet card? Does the system have more than one kind of networking device such as ethernet and wireless?

/etc/modprobe.conf looks like this
Code:
alias eth0 8139too
alias scsi_hostadapter sata_via
alias snd-card-0 snd-via82xx
options snd-card-0 index=0
options snd-via82xx index=0
remove snd-via82xx { /usr/sbin/alsactl store 0 >/dev/null 2>&1 || : ; }; /sbin/modprobe -r --ignore-remove snd-via82xx
options usbnet
options via-rhine irq=3
options cdc_ether irq=3
alias eth2 cdc_ether
alias eth1 usbnet
n_hdlc.o. is not there and lsmod i cannot do anything with. it wont run in terminal or the text editor
no, its not through ethernet, its usb. i do have a network card in my computer but the modem is just plugged into one of my usb ports (ive seen all the stuff about how ethernet is better, but i know that it can work with usb). and there is nothing wireless about my computer.

I don't understand what you meant by "i cannot do anything with. it wont run in terminal or the text editor". What were you trying to run? The lsmod command? Or the module n_hdlc.o? The module will not run. The command should run from a command line in a terminal.
/sbin/lsmod
Do you have a link to the directions you followed? Did they say to run adsl-setup ?

The n_hdlc module doesn't show up so the error message about "Make sure your kernel supports the N_HDLC line discipline, or do not use the SYNCHRONOUS option." makes sense. There is a command called "modprobe" to insert modules in the kernel.
But before we try that, explain to me what directions you were following. Did they assume you were using the ethernet card or were they specifically for the usb cable modem? What does
/sbin/ifconfig
show when your cable modem is plugged-in Does it show one network device "eth0" or two ("eth0" and "eth1"). Is it possible that the directions you are using assume you are using "eth0"?

if you mean the directions to set up the xdsl connection.
i installed fedora core 5 and was not able to connect to the internet. so i, like a newbie, tried to use my windows disk. that didnt work so i posted on a forum to see what to do, they said that the driver is supported and i just need to go to network and setup a new xDSL connection and put in my stuff and id be away, but i kept getting this error message.
on the network thing it comes up with ambit being as etho2 (i think) but was told that that wouldnt matter. so on my xdsl connection properties box its using etho2 Ambit USB cable modem.
/sbin/ifconfig gives me this
Code:
[root@localhost ~]# /sbin/ifconfig
lo Link encap:Local Loopback
inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0
inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host

Neither eth0 or eth1 are running according to that output.
Did your internet provider say that they used aDSL as opposed to hDSL or some other kind of DSL? If they say they want you to use aDSL then try running /usr/sbin/adsl-setup . You don't have to really set up the connection. (You can interrupt the process with CTRL-C.) But get an idea of the kind of things that it asks and see if you have the answers.

my internet provider has said nothing, so i dont know what kind of DSL im using.
i tried that /usr/sbin/adsl-setup and this is what happens ( ive removed all the stuff of me entering the info.
Code:
** Summary of what you entered **
Ethernet Interface: eth2
User name: nonclercq
Activate-on-demand: No
Primary DNS: 194.168.8.100
Secondary DNS: 194.168.4.100
Firewalling: STANDALONE
User Control: yes
Accept these settings and adjust configuration files (y/n)? y
Adjusting /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ppp0
Adjusting /etc/resolv.conf
Adjusting /etc/ppp/chap-secrets and /etc/ppp/pap-secrets
(But first backing it up to /etc/ppp/chap-secrets.bak)
(But first backing it up to /etc/ppp/pap-secrets.bak)
Congratulations, it should be all set up!
Type '/sbin/ifup ppp0' to bring up your xDSL link and '/sbin/ifdown ppp0'
to bring it down.
Type '/sbin/adsl-status /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ppp0'
to see the link status.
[root@localhost ~]# /sbin/ifup ppp0
/sbin/adsl-start: line 216: 3652 Terminated $CONNECT "$@" >/dev/null 2>&1
[root@localhost ~]# /sbin/adsl-status /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ppp0
adsl-status: Link is down (can't read pppoe PID file /var/run/pppoe-adsl.pid.pppoe)
the DNS servers i got from windows in my network connections panel from control panel.
i had fiddle on network, and ur right, its as if its not plugged in. i checked, it is (it must be cus im using it in windows to write this message). it does come up as an ethernet thing tho. and it is eth2.
if i need to phone up my internet provider and ask them something, i can, just tell me what to ask, and what kind of thing i need.

Try the command
/sbin/ifup ppp0
See if it the interface eth2 is running with the command
/sbin/ifconfig
If not try
/sbin/ifconfig eth2 up
And see if eth2 will come up.
If it will, try /sbin/ifup/ppp0 and see if you can use your browser.
If it won't, look in /var/log/messages and see if you have that same error about N_HDLC. If you have that error, I think the logical step is to try to add the n_hdlc module to the kernel.
Since you knew the answers for adsl-setup, the only thing to ask the ISP is to request troubleshooting tips. Does the ISP have a website?
