I tried it, no luck.

That didn't change anything, so here are the logs.
This is one from a normal (working) connection using pon:
Aug 28 06:45:44 linux pppd[950]: pppd 2.3.5 started by dden, uid 1000
<snip>
connection script.
</snip>
Aug 28 06:46:14 linux pppd[950]: Using interface ppp0
Aug 28 06:46:14 linux pppd[950]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/ttyS0
Aug 28 06:46:20 linux pppd[950]: Cannot determine ethernet address for proxy ARP
Aug 28 06:46:20 linux pppd[950]: local IP address 192.55.114.62
Aug 28 06:46:20 linux pppd[950]: remote IP address 192.55.114.52
And here is one from a failed attempt using Minicom to log in, quiting
Minicom without modem reset and executing this command:
/usr/sbin/pppd /dev/ttyS0 38400 defaultroute
Aug 28 07:08:51 linux pppd[1025]: pppd 2.3.5 started by dden, uid 1000
