The problem is very likely that the ISP is still at a text prompt and has
not started ppp. Something is wrong in the chat script. Two things come
to mind.
First when you "truncate" ppp-on-dialer be sure that you remove the `\' at
the end of the CONNECT line.
Second you may need to change <CONNECT ''> to <CONNECT \\c> or <CONNECT
\\d>. The first form suppresses the carriage return that otherwise is sent
and sometimes causes trouble. The second form introduces a 1 second delay
that some ISPs need.
