For the last couple of weeks I've been unable to connect to work via ppp. When I run minicom, I see the host: prompt and enter ppp, then get the password: prompt and enter my password, then see the ppp garbage strings that start the protocol negotiation. I believe that this confirms that the password is OK. When I tail -f /var/log/messages in another window, I see:
Jan 5 00:20:26 localhost chat[19028]: host: Jan 5 00:20:26 localhost chat[19028]: -- got it Jan 5 00:20:26 localhost chat[19028]: send (??????)
