How are LOCAL_IP, REMOTE_IP, and NETMASK set since you don't use scripts?
None of the associated pppd options for these are needed and using them
without setting the varibles isn't recommended. The pppd option < asyncmap
a0000 > is likely the safest to start with, although the best is < asyncmap

Ugh. Use pppd with chat -v and you can get a much better idea of what's
going wrong.
Here the best guesses are that the "start ppp" didn't work or the ISP gave
up before you got pppd started. That assumes that you have previously
connected to the same ISP with the same hardware, the same initial internal
modem configuration, the same device file configuration, the same terminal
attributes, and the same minicom modem AT initialization strings.
The 2.0.x kernels can use either ppp-2.2.0 or ppp-2.3.x but the 2.2.x
kernels need at least ppp-2.3.5 . The new kernels are relative untested by
the troops in the field and might well be avoided until a real need
arises. In particular some networking tools are broken by the 2.2.x
kernels and some routing is automatic. Always read the
linux/Documentation/Changes file when switching to a new series kernel.

Check all the configuration things that can changed between distributions.
Better yet start using pppd with chat and give us something to work with.
