Removing only the trailing "\" gives an error (as I understand it, the "\" only masks the <CR> at the end of the line). The same happens, when I execute your second suggestion.
Removing "# CONNECT \" (while keeping the trailing "\") lets ppp run but I still get the complaint of "Warning: Chat Script failed".
ATD*99***1\# CONNECT \
# ATE1Q0 OK \\dATDT\\T TIMEOUT 40 CONNECT"
Can anybody explain what goes wrong here?
It looks like you are missing the closing double quote due to the last line of "set dial" being commented out. Try putting the closing double quote at the end the problematic line.

Indeed. That comes from the blasted stick. When you look at the preceeding output you'll notice that a bunch of those signals(?) came right after starting dialing. Normally ppp simply ignores this (as far as I can tell).
It has the same quirk under linux as well, but there I can at least connect.

That was me at the terminal. When nothing happened anymore I quit ppp.
What log would that be? I assumed the same log structure as in FreeBSD (/var/log/ppp.log) but that doesn't exist. What would you need?
You may have to start the PPP daemon with a special switch (my man pages mention a "logfile" option) to get it to send debug output to "/var/log/pppd.log".

This gets started by smpppd on SuSE systems. The *BSD ppp.conf where I could switch on logging doesn't exist *grrr*. I'll do further digging and will come back after the easter holidays.

Thanks, the second "german" link was quite usable but indepently I found this: Yesterday in the very late evening I stumbled upon /etc/ppp/options. I activated there "debug" the output of which will be written to /var/log/messages. As soon as I have run a session with a connection I'll post the results here.
