Don't run irmanager ! Kill that program ! He will only get in
your way...

Yes, in theory, pppd should autoconfigure everything. As the
IrNET socket underneath got connected properly, I would suspect a
problem with pppd itself and the way its configured. Which version of
pppd are you using ?
The debug option should have put a lot of stuff in
/var/log/pppd.log. Could you have a look at it ?

Don't know. It's weird, because the link is properly
established, but pppd has trouble getting LCP packet
through. Definitely weird...
Are you sure that you have /dev/ppp with the correct
permission and the correct settings ? It should look like :
--------------------------------
# ll /dev/ppp
crw------- 1 root root 108, 0 Apr 26 17:59 /dev/ppp
--------------------------------
And then, somewhere in /etc/modules.conf :
--------------------------------
alias char-major-108 ppp_generic
alias /dev/ppp ppp_generic
--------------------------------

That's it ! IrNET is working ! It got connected. The problem
is above it...

The connection was close at the request of pppd, so pppd is
the culprit if your connection went down.
Good luck...
