The only way to test it is to use kermit , 
kermit is interactive and you ccan actually gve the initialisation string
and see if the modem resonds ..
Once you know the initialisation script is right , use it in your chat 
script and it will work . :-)
are you using chat to connect to vsnl .. use the chat script in verbose mode
and you will know  where it fails , you will have too check the right
initialisation string from your modem manual and put it in your chat script 
Do you have kermit ..
You can try the following chat script.. if it does not work then
pl download kermit and then test with that ..

#!/bin/sh
/usr/sbin/pppd  connect  'chat -v ABORT BUSY ABORT NO-CARRIER ABORT NO-ANSWER ABORT '\nRINGING\r\n\r\nRINGING\r' "" ATDT4404444 CONNECT "" sername: ername assword:  password ""  ppp' /dev/cua2 38400 debug crtscts modem defaultroute

Here there are no of abort strings so when it does nt connect you know what is 
happening 
here with the above after invoking you will fine the log in the /var/adm file
and can find out what is happening, 
replace the /dev/cua2 and the 38400 paramaters with your correct paramemeters
and also the account , password and ph no. 
hope this works , nps
