The line above is what fixes the problem but I'm not sure why, perhaps someone
can explain ;) Sometimes we used to come across this problem with linux users
connecting to our ISP. On RedHat the GUI ppp config tool had an
option "Escape Control Characters" which actually set the option "asyncmap
00000000" for pppd and this fixed it.
