This is a symptom of an incorrect IRQ. What do setserial and
'cat /proc/interrupts' say?

This is a red herring. Many ISP's run software that detects manual
connection attempts and offers chat authentication instead of the PAP that
it offers when the connection appears to be automatic. Your slow response
rate probably looks like someone typing into a communications program.
