I'd recomend against trying options willy-nilly. Modify /etc/syslogd.conf
to catch all the messages (add a local2.* /var/log/ppp_messages line or
something like that). Turn on all the debugging options. You can turn on
options in ppp which will dump ALL the characters which go back and
forth. Then watch them and see where things start to look different from
the script you've been given.

Take care,
