Your serial port may not be set up correctly since pppd is timing out
waiting for an "OK" from your modem.  When you run "cat /proc/interrupts"
do you see the IRQ for your modem?  Do you see your modem when you run 
"cat /proc/ioports"?

Another thing that has bitten me in the past:  Does your modem actually
return "OK" or does it return "Ok" (or possibly "ok")?
