I had a smiliar problem while installing ppp. At first I tried to do a
manual connection. After entering term I could enter my AT commnds.
They were send (the modem answered with OK) but i had to type them 
"blind" because they were not echoed on the screen.

I than have given up to try to connect manually. I installed the
conf files as described in PPPPP (Pedantic PPP Primer). 

This way it worked on the first try.

This description was a good job.
