This seems to be caused by a delay between starting pppd on the server
and pppd actually starting and disabling echo on the serial port. The
simplest way to avoid this is to wait for the ~ character in your chat
script. This way you know that pppd has started before your pppd sends
packets down the serial line.

When you log in manually there is a delay (unless you can type really fast :-)
which gives pppd the time to start. You may also wait for the first packet
to be sent before you consider yourself logged in and start pppd.

Cheers.
