So you're saying you use minicom to start ppp then disconnected minicom?
Or is what you list below, the entire content of the dialogue with the ISP?

At a guess, wrong IRQ assigned on your serial port? Linux still
(sometimes) manages serial with wrong IRQ, but it is v ... e ... r ... y
slow.
Get a null modem (or a DTE-DTE cross cable) and cables to do a
loopback between two serial ports (or use a serial port on another
system). Run minicom on the two ports. See if what you type on one,
shows up right away on the other.
Or maybe your ISP is just slow.
