Try xisp (you'll need X for it).

That's a slink problem.  'plog -f' works fine in 2.0.

Only if you are giving your modem the appropriate init string.

For the moment, there seems to be a problem with the 'plog -f' command
because of a broken sysklogd package.  When 'plog -f' does work though,
it lets you see the connection progress and the baud rate that you
connected with.

Your  /etc/chatscripts/provider  probably needs an extra line.
On the 1st try ATZ isn't resetting to the modem optimum for ppp
Do the following:

After a successful 2nd, do a
cat /var/log/ppp.log 
and see the ATx sent to the modem
Then modify your /etc/provider so it reads like the following

-
ABORT BUSY
ABORT "NO CARRIER"
ABORT VOICE
ABORT "NO DIALTONE" 
ABORT "NO ANSWER"
"" ATZ
OK ATE0Q0S0=0M0V1X1&C1&D2<< your new line, I added in the "M0" for
quiet modem"
OK ATDT3012539182
CONNECT \d\c
