Something is almost certainly wrong with the /etc/ppp/ppp-on-dialer
script. It seems to have failed before it even dialed the phone.
A common error is a chat script line other than the last line that does
not have it's eol escaped with `\'. The script also needs to exist and be
executable, and chat needs to be on the path or the full path name used.
If none of these observations help then we'll likely need to see the
script in order to help.
But there's some things above that should be changed. The "kdebug 25"
is bogus and should be removed (due to RH I believe), the correct range
of values for kdebug is the set of integers 0 through 7. The 20a0000
asyncmap value very likely should be 200a0000 . And the "escape FF"
is rarely useful and often can cause trouble when the ISP is a little
buggy - something that is true more often than you might think.
