Subject: User ppp not dialing

For months I have been trying to get user ppp to work with my provider
Advantis (IBM). I got a ppp.conf and ppp.linkup from another user and
it originally did the following:

>Dial Attempt 1
>Dial OK!
>Login OK!
>Packet mode

All of that without actually dialing at all! The modem never even got
the OH light on.
As per someones suggestions I changed 
"add 0 0 255.255.255.0" to  "set ifaddr 0/0 0/0" 
and now I don't even get as far as before.
Now I am getting a "dial attempt 1" and then fails. It goes on for a
few more attempts and fails.

I have been trying for months with no luck. I am getting desperate. 

I also tried "echo atm1h1> /dev/cuaa0" to see if the modem would
respond and the modem received the command, but the OH light didn't
come up (this was after I tried going into ppp); the modem did receive
the commands though because I saw the lights blink. I know the modem is
ok, because I use with OS/2 and because with previous ppp.conf I could
dial with "term" from ppp. Is it possible one of the lines in the
ppp.conf is setting my modem in a state where it can no longer accept
anything? Any suggestions? I am going to try a minimal ppp.conf and try
term again to see if I can identify what in ppp.conf could be causing
the problem with the modem.

Following are my ppp.conf and ppp.linkup
