Hi,
Please set your mail to <80 column :(

Are you able to log in manually and start PPP manually?
Do you need a command after logging in to start ppp?

Where did you get that script? Its too complex, susceptibe to race
conditions, ...
Let pppd handle the port settings and device locking.
Something like:

	exec /usr/sbin/pppd /dev/modem 57600 silent lock \
	 defaultroute modem connect  "/usr/bin/chat -f /etc/chat.script"

Also, use the '-v' option on chat for debugging, and read the log.
Try the chat script by hand first, using seyon or whatever.
