You don't have to change your users GID, just add them to group network
in /etc/group, for example:

$ id
uid=10003(dummy) gid=10003(dummy) groups=69(network)

Can you send me a copy of your log file, with the following settings:

  set log chat connect command phase lcp ipcp ccp debug

We should be able to see if the CD detection routine is being called 
correctly.  You must also make sure that your modem doesn't "fake" 
carrier.  It would be good if you could indicate when carrier was 
actually lost too.

Thanks.
