First, go through the README.changes file. It should detail all the
possible bits in old configurations that might have been broken while
I've been maintaining ppp.
Second, read through the man page. Not all of it will make sense the
first few times, but it should at least give you a feel for how ppp
is controlled and configured.

Good so far.

With the latest ppp, you're better off saying ``add 0 0 HISADDR'' or
``add default HISADDR''. Refer to the bit on ``sticky routes'' in
the man page for a description of what this means. This however
shouldn't matter as you've got a static IP address.
So, this configuration is saying that you've got a modem on COM3
(``dmesg | fgrep sio2'' should show that your UART was probed), your
ISP is to be dialed and ppp should enter negotiations immediately,
responding to any PAP or CHAP requests from your ISP with the given
authname & authkey (you should have blanked out the authkey!).

ppp.linkup:

This isn't necessary with the latest ppp if you use HISADDR in
ppp.conf.
So, AFAICT, your configuration is fine. Your next step should be to
add this line to the start of your default section:
set log phase chat lcp ipcp command
and post the resulting log. Make sure you've got syslog.conf set up
as per the ppp man page.
Cheers.
