This is maybe be shot in the dark, but I get a similar hangup with RH6.0
if I specify a pppd option speed greater than my tty speed. In ppp-on,
before you start pppd, try adding:
stty 57600 < /dev/modem
see if that helps. This was not a problem for me before upgrading (but
maybe I did this and don't remember). You can do the same with
setserial, but get a sort-of error message in the logs.
FWIW, the speed option here is not your rated modem speed, but the speed
at which your system communicates with your modem, or something like
that. You should be able to use 115200 instead, which, at least, in my
case makes a dramatic difference in download speeds, but does not really
effect connection speed.
