..i wouldnt assume that - there could be a bug in the code and the config
is not correct etc - NEVER assume that a config tool or fancy GUI
wizard does its job correctly.  the solution here is to either
go to a general Linux PPP lists armed with your files....or send
us your PPP config files (though my system is /dev/null right
now (along with all configs). i would, if you, check
/etc/ppp  and see what each file says.

does the modem light not blink etc at all when using 'pon'? 

can you 

echo "ATZ" > /dev/ttyS0  ?
 

are you in the 'dialup' group?  theres some security to fix before
you can use PPP as a user.
