While we welcome succinctness, you've taken it to a point that makes things
a bit hard to follow. Still, I suspect your problem is in the chatscript
portion of the ppp command.
You say you send:
> Use this for real connection: pppd /dev/modem 57600 connect
>'/usr/sbin/chat " " ATDTxxxxxxx CONNECT " " Username: xxxx Password:
>xxxx ' noipdefault defaultroute

Since you've obviously modified this from what you really use (all the x's),
I'm not certain how exactly to read it. But I believe you are waiting for a
space at the start, where you don't want to be waiting for anything. That
is, where your script reads
chat " " ATDT
it should read
chat "" ATDT
without the embedded space.
Not sure of this ... it's been some mnths since I last ysed pppd/chat ...
but I think this is your problem.
Leaving ip_forwarding off is fine in this application.
Is this connection command all
