Not the hangup chatscript: there is no such thing. What is failing is your
'disconnect' script. Somewhere you must be passing pppd the 'disconnect'
option, with an argument like "chat blah blah...". The command in the
argument gets run after pppd has terminated the link, and in this instance
is garbled.

Sounds like the modem is either not responding to the hardware modem
control signals or they are for some reason not being sent. Check the
modem configuration, and make sure that pppd is getting the 'modem' and
'crtscts' options. If that doesn't work fix the disconnect script so that
it sends 'ATH' to the modem. This disconnect line in
/etc/ppp/peers/provider will do so:
disconnect "/usr/sbin/chat \'\' ATH"
