Or, you don't get to the pppd on the other side _at all_. Consider a
PPP server machine which you log in to and either spawn pppd from the
shell (as in the pppd README) or get at pppd automatically.
Now, you have the wrong password in your chat script. This will leave
you at the login prompt, the login program will take the LCP ConfReq
as a login name, and echo it back...
I've got bitten by this once and took _hours_ to find out the trivial
cause, just confused by an error message that indicates a problem with
kernel TTY stuff...
Perhaps that's one of the most common errors with PPP.
