Interesting. Before using "term", try doing

Possibly. Here's my /etc/ppp/ppp.conf file. You might want to try
part of it to see if it helps:
#
# General settings.
#
default:
set device /dev/cuaa1
set speed 57600
set parity none
disable lqr
deny lqr
set dial "ABORT BUSY ABORT NO\\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 5 \"\" ATZ OK-AT-OK\\dATDT\\T TIMEOUT 40 CONNECT"
#
# Entry for my internet service provider:
#
my-isp:
set phone XXXXXXX
set openmode active
set login "TIMEOUT 10 name>-\\r-name> MYUSERNAME word> MYPASSWD mode. \"\""
