Which is most likely caused by your chat script (/etc/ppp.chatscript)
being too short - it's not even waiting for a CONNECT signal from the
modem. pppd is trying to send configure requests immediately after
the modem has been told to dial - this causes the modem to abort the
dial, and then the modem just echoes back to pppd everything pppd is
sending (this is that "looped back" bit in the logs). Make certain
that your /etc/ppp.chatscript contains a line like:
CONNECT ""
This will make it wait until the modem finishes dialing and actually
connects before it tries to start up ppp.
