I do dialback and it works fine for me. You have to leave out the ABORT on "NO CARRIER" of course or the chatscript will abort when the other end hangs up - because you've told it to. However, with newer ppp's this no longer seems to be sufficient, as apparently chat bails out if the DCD signal is gone. I have had to add "AT&C0" to the modem init strings, to disable DCD signalling by the modem. That made dialback work again, the only problem I still have is when dialling in to another provider without dialback, for which I use other modem settings. pppd often hangs up right after starting, but it restarts after a couple of seconds so I haven't really bothered yet to polish these rough edges.
