This is interesting.  It seems clear that the firmware loaded ok, since 
otherwise
pppd would have failed at once.  The most likely explanation is that the line is
failing to synchronize.  Next time you get into this situation (pppd call 
speedtch
gets stuck at "send"), can you please send me the output of the following 
commands:
(a)
        dmesg | grep "ATM\|speedtch"
(b)
        cat /proc/bus/usb/devices

(you may need to do
        mount -t usbfs usbfs /proc/bus/usb
as root before trying (b)).

Also:
(c)
        cat /proc/net/atm/speed*

Thanks a lot,

Duncan.
