It may be unrelated, but I would get rid of that link ^^^^^ and
use the name of the device itself, otherwise you could run into
device-locking problems.

Perhaps PPP is only starting up occasionally at the other end. Do you
have to issue a ppp command in the chatscript, or should they start
sending you PPP automatically? Have you checked this by running the
chatscript by hand yourself using minicom? (PPP looks like garbage
