Usually happens when
a) you forgot to send "ppp" command to your ISP (ie. common
login sequence is to to send username, password and then "type of
service -- ppp, slip, whatever)
b) ppp takes long time to start on your ISP's box.
In both cases the remote box simply echoes back whatever you send them,
hence the error message.
Fixes:
( best thing to do is to use minicom to manually go through the login
sequence so that you know what exactly is going on there )
a) check your chat script
b) use "TIMEOUT" chat commands, "passive" or "silent" pppd options.
