Make sure you're using PAP authentication, do NOT turn on passive LCP.
I'm using 3Web myself... I do get the 'no carrier' thing sometimes on the
async lines - some of those dialups seem to be broken - but the sync ones
always work (5489-8200 is a sync dialup).  

One solution is this - get connected under Windows. Disconnect.  Run
hyperterminal and tell the TA:

AT&W

this will write the current settings to NVRAM.
Now, have your linux script use 'ATZ' for its initialization, and it
*should* work.
