Hmm... could some other process have sent an init string to the
modem while pppd was waiting for CONNECT?  File locking should
prevent that from happening, though.  I guess I'd start by checking
for any getty or pppd daemons running on the same port:

ps aux | grep -E "(getty|pppd)"

(do that while pppd is trying to connect)
