I'd suspect a low-control problem, use the pppd option crtscts (as you did)
and add &K3 to the modem initialization string (old Hayes standard, YMMV),
or a problem with the BSD compression that seems to have been negotiated,
use the pppd option nobsdcomp, or that the VJ header compression at the ISP
is broken, use the pppd option novj.
Otherwise using the pppd debug option will record the PPP link negotiations
and may help you (or one of us) to determine what's causing the problem.
These are much more verbose than the ones you posted.
