I had pppd working in 7.1. Never tried it on 7.2 as I moved to DSL. But
here are the necessary file that I used. Hope it helps you.
The timeout for the chat script is given by the line TIMEOUT <value>.
Initially we use a timeout of 3 seconds and later switch to a 45 seconds
timeout for the modem to connect to the other end.
