That description plus the timeouts set in the chat script suggest
that the IRQ configured for the device file isn't the IRQ that the
modem's serial port actually uses. An acid test for this is to run
minicom and enter, say AT&F; if the OK response takes ~19 seconds
then that's the problem.
Check the device file IRQ configuration with "setserial /dev/ttySx",
x=whatever for your modem serial port. Also make sure nothing else
is using the IRQ for the modem's serial port. Check that with "cat
/proc/interrupts" while nothing is using the modem. If the IRQ shows
up there then something else is using it.
Otherwise add the pppd debug option and post exact copies of the
chat -v messages and the PPP negotiation messages.
