If i understand correctly, one of your problems is that it is very slow. 1) Is it a plug-and-play modem ? 2) what does setserial (setserial /dev/ttyS3 -a) reports ? 3) Perhaps you should consider giving a more specific modem initialization string, rather then ATZ ? 4) I think you should read the PPP HOWTO. It is a bit different from the way Debian handels the connection but, never the less, I find it an invaluable source to start things going (and also get a little insight). I also saw on this list that there are instructions on the automatic FAQ (FAQ'O'MATIC ?), although I did not used it.
