Note -Remove that "call isp"
and use 
# pppd call isp
instead to bring the link up.

DX33 with 1.3.2 and Zoom 56K
My /etc/ppp/peers/isp looks like this:

tty00 57600                     # modem port and speed
connect '/etc/ppp/chat-script "X-XXX-XXXX" ' # connect script
ipparam "<MY.ISP> XXX,XXX,XXX,XXX,192.168.1.41 <MY.ISP>,home.org" 
disconnect /etc/ppp/ppp-down
lock                            # lock the modem port on connect
modem                           # use full modem control
crtscts                         # use hardware flow control
asyncmap 80000000               # represents the character 0x1f or  ^_.
defaultroute                    # add default routing when link comes up
noipdefault                     # no local defaults for IP addresses
ipcp-accept-local               # allow remote to specify our IP address
ipcp-accept-remote              # allow remote to specify his IP address
lcp-echo-interval 15            # ping the remote every 15 seconds
lcp-echo-failure 20             # declare link down after 20 pings fail
netmask 255.255.255.0           # netmask for our assigned IP address

user <myusername>               # account name to use to log onto remote

/etc/ppp/options and options.tty00 are(empty)
