Giuliano Gavazzi was correct. Adding "E0" to the modem initialization string
solved the problem. "E0" turns off modem echo.

The modem was echoing the input back to the computer. Apparently this didn't
cause a problem with chat, but pppd didn't like it.

I still don't have ppp working, but I am further along. Hopefully I can debug
the rest on my own.

Thanks to everyone for their help!

Cheers,
