Well, great that you see the problem! Though in my case ppp didn't work either.
Also, when I tried backporting the linux 2.6 patch to linux 2.4, pppd
connects, but then doesn't seem to exchange any data after that. It seems
a simple backport so I can't see what is wrong (but maybe that's why
they haven't backported it upstream, even in the latest prepatch...)
I think my modem is the "HX" kind, that's what the linux 2.6 change seems to
treat.
