Actually, asyncmap 0x00000000 says _nothing_ should be escaped. If you 
leave the asyncmap command out, ppp escapes _everything_ from ascii 0 to 127.
which is why leaving it out works, but the above command probably wont. Also,
if you are dialing in to a terminal server or something like that, see if 
you can turn off the various escape characters that the server recognizes. 
You want as transparent a connection as possible.

??? Perdue?? Could you describe this in a little more detail?
