You aren't even talking successfully to the modem. Here is  short
description of what the above lines mean...

abort on xxxx
   This is setting up various conditions that will cause the chat script
   to abort if they are detected.

send (ATZ^M)
   This is the computer sending to the modem the ATZ command which on
   Hayes compatable modems will cause them to be reset and reload their
   configuration from NVRAM. This command usually takes only a second or two.

expect(OK)
   The script will wait for the modem to send OK back to the computer
   (the ATZ command will do this when it's done)

alarm
   You have problems. The modem didn't send back to the computer OK, but
   instead did nothing. After sending the ATZ command, 45 seconds went by
   without the modem responding with OK. Not good.

The rest of the lines describes chat and PPP terminating.

I would suggest that you type to see if you can use the modem manually
via a comm program like seyon. When you can sucessfully communicate with
the modem, then try again with PPP.

Hope this helps,
