Well, PPP protocol bytes would look like garbage.

-6 means "login failed", I believe, which sounds like your UUCP Systems and/or
Dialers files may need some work.

If you run pppd with -d9, you should get some idea of what's going on with
the UUCP stuff, which looks like the (at least initial) problem you're having.

Also remember that the ODT 1.2.1 system must set option "old" in the incoming
PPP's entry (in /etc/ppphosts) to deal with some of the problems of the 1.2.0
implementation.
