That is pppd sending LCP packets to the console. This what it will do when
you start it without telling it what serial port to use. The only place
you have mentioned a serial port is /etc/ppp/peers/provider, which pppd
does not read when you just type 'pppd'.

You don't want that. Take it out.

Take that line out. pppd has no 'domain' option.

Try typing 'pon'. That will tell pppd to use your 'provider' files.
