FYI, I fixed my stability issues with PDANet.
They are linked inherently to modifying the registry (or using a tweak program) that alters certain values for TCP, maxconnectionsperserver, maxrequestthreads, etc. Basically anything "internet related" for tweaks is a candidate.
You can test this yourself and see if it helps:
- Assuming you have SPB or Sprite Backup, do a back up.
- Hard Reset
- Just install PDANet and see if you can make it crash
If you can...then disregard everything above! If you can't...then it might be a hack/tweak you did or 3rd party software
For instance: I found rlToday Plugin when the refresh value was set at the default 100ms (very fast) could overwhelm the CPU when when PDANet was downloading a lot of data. Changing the rlToday plugin value to 1000ms+ increased stability.
In other words, PDANet can become very resource-intensive at times. If you have other programs running in the background, plugins that do things, etc. it could compromise the stability of PDAnet.

Getting to your specific question:
1) Make sure the Treo stays on during the whole process. You won't have an AS connection to the computer to "keep it on" and it'll shut off. If it does, you'll get that error.
2) When you launch the modem program on the Treo and you Activate, make sure do the "power off the phone radio/the power the radio back on" as that is very necessary for the connection.
Then connect the USB up to the computer and hit "connect" on the dial-up program. Also double check that the Treo is showing up as a modem under your dial-up screen (via Properties). Mine often would disappear and it would use some generic modem giving me that error.
Make sure the device doesn't turn off though during this process.
Just play with it a bit and make sure you do the radio-cycle trick, otherwise it won't work.
It does take a few times before you teach yourself "the pattern" for getting a successful connection. Good luck
