ISPs who don't support linux worry me... it shows that they don't know
what they are _really_ doing.

So far, so good.
But a pause for 20 seconds? Why?

Weird, this shouldn't be happening.
It could be that your chat script is sending some extra characters
that's causing it to bail out. But you haven't got pppd's logging set
very verbose... where are all the LCP (Link Control Protocol)
messages? This would give you the answer.
Do you have to use chat or pap authentication?
What's in your /etc/ppp/options file (and what command line parameters
do you start it with)?
