I've found this Init string works well for most Mac modems: AT&F1
Here are a couple other "official" strings for Apple modems:
Apple Express Modem ---> AT&F&D0&Q0 or AT&F\N3&D3&Q5
Macintosh Express Modem ---> AT&F\N3&D3&Q5

ConfigPPP as follows:
Port speed: 57600 (If computer can't handle this, choose slower port speed)
Flow Control: CTS & RTS (DTR)

Hope this helps.
