This is a bug in the PPP implementation on your providers side.
Your PPP is offering to use a compression protocol, and the remote
PPP implementation is getting very confused by this. Do the following:

(1) get ppp-2.2.0f from sunsite, compile and install.
(2) make sure you do NOT load the bsd_comp module.

The newer release of pppd won't offer compression if the bsd_comp module
is not loaded. This should fix your problem.

Cheers,
