First, check your timeout setting. Make sure you are giving the ISP enough
time to establish a connection. 2 minutes should be plenty. mine is set at
1 min.
If that isn't the problem, then I would say its has to do with how your ISP
wants you to connect and authenticate. To help you out with this I am going
to need more information. What authentication method are you using? what
pppd arguments are you using? etc...
I could also be the modem initialization string you are using. your ISP may
want a certain kind of connection and you are sending the wrong kind. For
instance, my ISP operates with V.90 and 56K but not K56flex. So I have to
make sure K56flex is turned off on my modem via the initialization string,
which looks like at&fw2s109=2s38=1%c0. This initialization string other
things but mainly ensures a V.90 connection. Every ISP and modem are
different. Consult your ISP and your modem's AT command manual. I lucked
out, and my ISP offers linux support. Hopefully your does too.
