Salut Keith,
did you try to have a line
 debug
in your /etc/ppp/options. Then pppd should produce some lines in your
syslog (i.e. /var/log/messages commonly). It documents the negotiation at
the start of the session. Maybe you find answers there in.
But if you are in bad-luck, your provider has a buggy ppp-implementation.
I had this problem with a provider that is half the way between us.
Might this mtu be a bit too big?
