I had this same problem with a different brand external modem with my
freeBSD 4.2 , I was using kppp to dial up and it used to disconnect
immediately


what I did was

login as root

touch /etc/ppp/options
chmod 755  /etc/ppp/options

that solved my problem

I still wonder why your modem dosent work with Windows
