This problem occurs when pppd receives packets that it thinks it
has sent. This suggests that something somewhere is echoing characters
despite the fact you believe you have logged in.

Are you sure your chat script takes you all the way to the point of
actually entering PPP mode at the other end ? I'd try logging in manually
and _exactly_ replicating what your chat script is doing, to see exactly
where it leaves you.

Alternatively, you might be right, it might just be that for some reason
your pppd is jumping the gun and sending stuff before the other end is
ready. In this case, rather than using a simple delay which would be
retty fallible, you'd be better off using the pppd 'passive' option which
will tell your pppd to not attempt to initiate link control, but rather to
wait for the other end to do so.
