It looks like you are not succeeding in getting PPP to start up on the
other end (at your ISP). That in turn probably *is* a chat script
problem. It's hard to tell since you are not logging the LCP message
traffic. To do that, you have to modify your /etc/syslog.conf and change
it to log messages from facility "daemon" of level "debug". Your log
looks like you have only level "info". Then it will be a lot clearer
what is going on.
I suggest you try connecting with minicom. See what you have to do to
get them send the initial LCP configuration request (which in minicom
will look like "garbage" beginning with a tilde character and containing
numerous right brace characters). Then tune your chat script (check the
chat man page) to mimic whatever you had to do in minicom to get this to
happen. Also, it would probably help if you would add "-v" to your chat
command so that your log will show exactly what's going on in the chat
phase.
Since you are just trying to connect to an ISP, you could try the
alternative of wvdial, which does not use chat at all (it actually makes
decisions based on what it sees coming from the other end, while chat,
by design, fails if it doesn't see what it is scripted to expect. wvdial
