Kenneth Sharf is a genius!
I changed the speed in /etc/ppp/peers/provider from 115000 to 14400. Now
the modem is dialing out. I still can't ping anything, but I figure that's
another issue.
Thanks, Kenneth!
PS. FYI, it's a Technology Concepts, Inc modem, external model LineLink
144e. I won't stay with this modem, but it's all I've got handy at the moment.
