Your chat script is not providing everything the other end wants. Chat is
exiting at your end and allowing pppd to start sending LCP packets while
the other end is still looking for some string and echoing everything it
gets. Dial in with minicom and work through the login until you get the
garbage that indicates that ppp has started at the far end. Then refer to
your notes to configure pppd.

The link is a bad idea and /dev/cuaX is obsolete. Use /dev/ttyS2 for the
port.
BTW why are you still using Debian 1.2?
