Usually you have to send the command "ppp" if ppp doesn't start
automatically at the other end. Some of our systems used to require
this, and those that did did not necessarily have ppp listed in the
help output.
You may need a delay in your chatscript between receiving CONNECT
and sending PPP. \d is it?

You mean the other end answers, waits, and then hangs up? Yes, that
would be a timer expiring.
Not all systems have the sense to start ppp automatically when bombarded
with LCP packets. Don't ask me why.
