PPP woes - kernel or configuration?

Hi,
I'm having a problem using PPP on my system. I realise that this may
not be the correct place to ask for this help, but syslog *is* logging this
mainly as 'kernel'. If people have a problem with this posting then please
tell me.
I connect fine (login with username/password) and PPP starts up
on the remote system, however my pppd logs the following before hanging
up on me:

Jul 30 22:21:14 tonka pppd[771]: Connection terminated.
Jul 30 22:21:14 tonka pppd[771]: Exit.

My connect script looks like this:

/usr/sbin/pppd /dev/ttyS1 38400 connect 'chat -v -f $HOME/.chat/tellurian'
crtscts defaultroute debug kdebug 1 modem noipdefault

Does anyone have any suggestions as to why my connection is always dying?

I can use it under Win95/Win31/WinNT with no problems, it's only under Linux
that I've had troubles.

thanks,
dave
