I've been trying that.  I've added a few options which seems to have
improved it a little, but I still haven't got it to work.  This is
Sprint EVDO, fwiw.

I was hoping someone might be able to read the PPP connection debug
log I posted in the first message and maybe see some configuration
option that one side wants but the other doesn't like.
