"Best guess" possibilities -- 
  1) wrong serial port
  2) wrong speed.

Recommend using a simple teminal program, like 'cu' or 'kermit',  try
connecting to each serial port, in succession, and see what happens
when you type the following two lines:
    ATE1V1
    ATI0          { that is 'AT', then a capital i, followed by a zero }


The idea is to _first_ get 'basic communications' with the modem working, 
_then_ try the chat scipt, then get ppp woking.

Trying to debug -everything- at the same time is a guaanteed recipie for
frustation -- as you're finding out.

One of your prior boot logs showed that _at_that_point_ the O/S was *NOT* 
recognizing the modem.  Log lines showed "unknown device  0x140b".  I
presume you have -that- resolved.
