Well, it was just a series of odd ascii characters.

Pentium 200 Mhz, 2 x 3.1 GB WD hdds, 32 mb ram, 33.6 modem on com2.
I edited the ppp files (i can send em if you need em) and tried to ftp
with dselect without doing anything to connect to my isp, assming that
dselect would spawn pppd and make it call. it didn't do this and instead
said that it couldn't connect to ftp.debian.org (of course it couldn't,
it wasn't connected!). then i tried to run pppd specifying /dev/modem
and 115200 as speed because that's what i used in telix for dos (4 times
baud rate of modem). it spit a lot of REAL junk out, or some language i
don't understand, but i know of no language that has %$#@*&%^$ in it. I
tried couple more times - to no avail. At this point i rebooted and sent
a message to the list.
