OK. The chatlog you show indicates that your modem is not responding to the
initial command sent by chat. Since you say ...

I'll skip asking about winmodems and other questions I'd ask if the modem
*never* worked under Linux. But you still need to check that you are trying
to use the correct serial port (i.e., the right /dev/ttyS* entry) and a
speed that the modem can run at. So ...
what serial port is the modem on? did pppconfig successfully
find it there, or did you tell it the port identifier?
what speed did you tell pppconfig to use for the port? Is it a
speed that your modem understands?
have you made *any* hardware changes since the time when you
"first installed debian last year"? (I'm wondering
about IRQ conflicts.)
are you still running the same Debian install as you had then?
