I have same problem, but I have Debian Potato PPP 3.8.11, 
and I have tried several debian-stock-kernels without 
success.

Actually I had working system earlier, but it just suddenly 
ceased to connect. I have read PPP-HOWTO, where has some 
useful looking info in troubleshooting section, but after 
trying few tricks mentioned there, I lost interest (and 
imagination).

to work 

I have always used PAP, which my ISP suggest.

I think that this is the relevant common part of our log.

I have also something like this (from my memory, not at 
console right now)
     Recive end wasn\'t 8-bit clean
     all was 7:th byte set to 0

I\'m as clueless as you.

I have contacted my ISP, but I haven\'t got any response.
