Commands used?  Options?    What is in the logs?

----------------------------------------------------------------------
/usr/sbin/pppd user ibuprofin@example.com lock crtscts nodetach 115200
defaultroute modem noipdefault /dev/ttyACM0 connect "/usr/sbin/chat -v
ABORT BUSY \"\" AT\&F1 OK ATDT2662902 CONNECT \"\d\c\""
----------------------------------------------------------------------

That's one long (199 character) line, with a USR 5637 USB modem rather
than an adapter, and /etc/ppp/options is renamed to get it out of the
way.    /var/log/messages then shows

Aug 13 12:25:37 planck chat[4933]: abort on (BUSY)

You might also add "dryrun" or "dump" to the pppd command to see what
magic spells you are calling from where, and then compare that data to
your minicom setup.
