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,
