OK - you said in your initial post that

so this _number_ works - but what we're seeing is them not responding
to a Linux LCP ConfReq. Is this the same box, or a different one?

The M$ dialup is performed from w2k on a laptop, the Linux is a
router/firewall dialup on a different box -- different
modems/drivers/dialup-clients etc.

I posted a request to an M$ newsgroup hoping for a method to log the
details of the successful dialup that occurs using that OS.
:: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;[LN];234014
I should mention that the windoze ppp log is intentionally bloated
beyond a lot of people's tolerance - mainly to scare away the users.
I don't know of anyone reading this group that can make a lot of
sense out of it, and only one person I occasionally see posting in the
comp.protocols.ppp newsgroup (Patrick Klos) who may make an attempt to
translate it.

Yes, just recording the connection then a voluntary disconnect yielded ~17KB
of "stuff".

Let's loose the 'persist' option too.

Done for now.

I don't _think_ it's a factor here, but check the output of the command
'rpm -q ppp' and see which package you have.

$ rpm -q ppp
ppp-2.4.1-3

ttyS1 at 0x02f8 (irq = 3) is a 16550A

$ cat /proc/interrupts
Won't show up unless some application is using the modem.

Not exactly sure why the '\dc' got sent - the '\c' is supposed to exit
without sending a carriage return. Try quoting the '\d\c' at the end
of the dial-script (change the end of the line to be CONNECT '\d\c').

After quoting, the same result is achieved; indeed, the same result even if
the \d\c is omitted.

A curious thing though, is that if I dial a long-distance PoP for the same
ISP, the connection will cycle through all 10 default "sent [LCP ConfReq
...." without receiving a response before the "Modem hangup\nConnection
terminated.", rather than having a hangup after a few seconds as occurs when
dialing the local PoP number.

This suggests to me that there may be a local Telco issue coincidentally
complicating the problem, but the fact remains that the local w2k dialup
connection is successful. The authentication seems to be hexadecimal plain
text and won't be included here, but the protocol and authentication
negotiations start as:
