This might be an MRU problem. Make sure that neither the MTU or the MRU is
configured for pppd. Add the pppd debug option to see whether the ISP is
asking for an odd MRU and that, if it is, pppd is not refusing it.
It also might be a VJ header compression problem, not all ISPs implement it
correctly. Try adding the pppd option novj.
Other, less likely, candidates are CCP (add the pppd option noccp),
flow-control between pppd and the modem (make sure the modem flow-control
and the pppd flow-control agree), and poor UART flow-control (reduce the
speed specified in the pppd speed option).
I've probably overlooked other things that can cause this so don't take
this list as being all inclusive.
