There is 2 things you should make sure of.
1. If it is an ISA card that you are getting the interrupts. You can check
this with vmstat -i and make sure they do arrive. Some motherboards need
configuration in the BIOS to make isa interrupts work.
2. That the cisco is providing a clock. The sr driver configure the card
to expect a clock and it won't work without it.

This is a bug in the state machine of sppp. I have fixed it in -current,
but haven't merged it into stable yet.

You can also enable the debug flag in ifconfig, then you will see the
ppp packets, that should also help debuging the problem.
