We had similar diagnostics when were trying to setup ppp session between FreeBSD 2.1's
PPPD and Solaris 2.4's ASPPPD. 
I have no technical details but the problem was solved when we turn off magic number
negotionion (-mn in .ppprc for FreeBSD) and turn off masking control symbols (asyncmap 0
for both FreeBSD and Solaris). 
The ppp session starts but isn't stable.
