Your chatscript is ending and letting pppd start sending LCP packets while
the provider is still expecting more login stuff. The provider is echoing
the LCP packets while it waits for wahtever it needs. It is still in text
mode so it clips off bit 8. Pppd sees this and generates the error message
you see.
Dial in with minicom and work through the login until you get the garbage
that indicates that ppp has started at their end. Then log out and refer
to your notes while running pppconfig to set up the connection.
