For one thing, I'm uneasy at the fact that you don't have an options
file in /etc/ppp. Going by the messages in that file, having that file
should be standard for Debian setups. Changes to the default in the
options file would go in the /peers/provider file.
I've had pppd hang as its doing to you. I narrowed my problem to the
file permissions of /etc/chatscripts/provider (there are 2 'provider'
files).
/etc/chatscripts dir:
drwxr-x--- 2 root dip 1024 Jun 22 13:34 chatscripts
/etc/chatscripts/provider:
-rw-r----- 1 root dip 512 Aug 14 22:29 provider
