I never had any luck with any of the ppp GUI (or otherwise)
dialer/connecter things supplied with RedHat or Fedora. Wrote my own chat
script to dial the modem and start ppp. I'll dig up the various files if
you want examples. One advantage is you can then easily tweak the pppd
invocation to turn on debugging levels. I have vague memories of having
to fiddle with LCP maybe, to get things to stay up -- IOW I think I had
the same immediate disconnect issue at one time. To long ago to remember
the particulars.
