This kinda sounds like my problem ...

I solved it by:
setting ttys device to baud rate I wanted to use.
using cu -l /dev/ttyd0 going in at the baud rate, and parity I wanted, at 
  memorizing these setting with at&w command.
then reboot machine.
-- Apparantly what was happening is the modem was programmed at some baud 
rate.  I program pppd to 38400.  When the modem was answering, it used the 
rate it was programed at, and not detecting the baud rate incoming.  Using 
the at&w command with the speed and parity set the way ppp was programed, 
FreeBSD, and the modem would be synchronized with the same baud rate.

I hope this helps
