| Well, you're receiving data from the peer, but the peer is not 
| sending any response to your config request.  From what I can see, 
| ppp is behaving exactly right.
| 
| I have no idea what your ISP is expecting - he's sending exactly the 
| same REQ as you are.
| 
| You could try ``set accmap 000a0000'', but I'll bet it won't help.  I 
| think you're stuck with asking your ISP to tell you what their side 
| thinks it's doing.  You could also try ``set log +physical'' to see 
| if anything funny is being read from the device and dropped, but 
| again I expect nada :-(

Try disabling compression. I've seen this before also, when ppp was
trying to talk to pppd.

I think it's specifically related to DEFLATE compression, it was a while
ago now that I saw it.
