A couple of suggestions: turn off TCP/IP extensions in /etc/sysconfig.
In your ppp.conf file, "set debug phase chat lcp" and look at the
messages in the log file. The extra debugging info may help narrow what
the problem is.

Weird. "set debug lcp" should help with this; you'll be able to follow
the LCP "conversation" between your machine and the Bay router.
