ppp, pppd, LCP Echo failure, modem init string

Thanks for the info guys. I now have an up and running ppp connection to 
my ISP.

The problem was the init string for my modem. AT&F works fine but I 
shall have to check for the most suitable string for my particular modem 
to get the best performance. I also changed the asyncmap line in 
/etc/ppp/options line to 0 (zero).

The command that I succeeded with was:

/usr/sbin/pppd /dev/ttyS1 115200 connect "/usr/sbin/chat -v '' AT OK 
ATDT1234567890 CONNECT '\d\c'"

Which came from Bill Unruh's web page on PPP. Part of my problem was 
that I was following those instructions when I came across a  script 
written specifically for my ISP and somehow the two got crossed. Mea 
culpa. Somewhat confusingly the chat.script that the ISP specific script 
used did use AT&F whereas the chat.script file for the above command did 
not. The asyncmap 200a00 line came from the ISP specific script.

Somewhat bizarrely I have set kppp up with the same parameters as far as 
I can tell and ppp doesn't like it, but that is another problem to 
solve. Most probably there is a config file somewhere that kppp is using 
without me knowing about or without kppp telling me it is using.

Thanks again.
