I had the same problems once - it turned out that the cause was that my
ISP was using PAP/CHAP on the line. So... talk to your ISP and see if
that's what they're using. If they are the docs that come with pppd do
a pretty good job of explaining how to set it up.

RTFM. It probably means that the remote end isn't starting their pppd.
The characters are echoed back with the last bit stripped, so your local
pppd thinks it doesn't have an eight bit connection.

I got this recently when starting a new account. Turned out the ISP had
entered a different password than we agreed on. Once I fixed that, all
was well.

One simple reason that the remote end might not start its pppd is if
your
password is wrong. I got this (often confusing) error message
under those circumstances when getting a Win 3.1 machine connected to
a Linux box.

Don't know if applies: If you have to connect through a terminal server
it usually has escape characters which will cause this. I have to
specify 'terminal download' to the terminal server before 'c
slirp.server.foo.edu'...
