Hm.  My modem doesn't have 'istrip' set.  Try this:

stty -istrip < /dev/cuala1

istrip converts 8 bit characters to 7 bit; this would harm binary transfers.

This is good.

execute the command 'show modem' and ppp and compare with mine.  I have a 
Supra 28.8, but the interface settings should match.  

ppp ON gdi> show modem
device: /dev/cuaa1  speed: 57600
cs8, none parity

[the rest omitted, it will vary for your system]
