Need help with ppp

[Niall Kavanagh]

Forgot to explain what was happening! Sorry for the multiple posts.

After your chat script has run, you're trying to send LCP packets to the
remote server to negotiate stuff. Once this gets underway you get your IP
etc.

If the server at the remote end isn't listening, these packets are
"reflected" back. Since they're using all 8 bits, ppp bitches because
they're not ASCII (at this point that's all it's expecting).
