1) It is a real modem, not a winmodem?
2) I would put a space and \d\c after the word CONNECT in your
chatscript.
3) I would install minicom and try making a connection manually to see
exactly what the dialogue is. You've succeeded when lots of }}} rubbish
starts to spew out. (That's LCP stuff coming to you.) Your log doesn't
seem to indicate any LCPs arriving.
