When you say "i start isdnpppd", I hope you really mean "bisdnd calls
start_ppp_out" ? You can't start isdnpppd manually.

It doesn't expect any device node - the difference between isdnpppd and
normal pppd is that isdnpppd expects bisdnd to pass it an already-open
file descriptor to use. If working properly, you should see:
Jan 28 17:30:40 uhura pppd[2710]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/tty
^^^^^^^^^
I don't know if your problem is to do with the way you are calling
isdnpppd, or if something has gone wrong with the patches to the pppd source.
My start_ppp_out looks like:
#!/bin/sh
exec /usr/sbin/isdnpppd 194.222.34.166: -d -bsdcomp -detach name arg1.demon.co.uk
