Ok... I followed the suggestions posted on here which were to upgrade pppd
(I am now running 2.3.5) and make sure I was using the passive flag (which I
have been doing since I started working with linux :)
Nothing has changed. I still get that damn LCP error with 2.1.109 and I
can't figure it out. :/ The scripts work perfectly fine with 2.1.106 and just
don't work with 2.1.109. The only change was the kernel.
But to prove that it wasn't a script/config problem I read the ppp docs and
man page and whipped up a custom pppd command (which I type in manually).
Again it works fine first try with 2.1.106 with both my original version of
pppd and 2.3.5.
Here is the line:
pppd connect 'chat -v "" ATDT2232000 CONNECT "" ogin: myuserid word: \
mypassword' /dev/ttyS2 115200 debug crtscts modem defaultroute passive \
noipdefault
The line works with 2.1.106 but not with 2.1.109 (thus proving that my
problem does not involve redhat's ifup, etc.)
The following is an example of the log when I fiddled with kdebug:

The only reason I can think of is that ppp support in the kernel was broken
(at least partially) with the recent modifications of the pppd code.
Please someone prove me wrong :)
