I noticed similar errors upon starting PPP sessions ... are you bringing up
the second line every couple minutes? What this seemed to be was some ASCII
overlap at the beginning of the PPP session. I was using ASCII (i.e.
scripted) login at the time and the message the access server sent ("your
address is x.x.x.x, etc") was being interpreted by PPP as invalid frames.
Check that your access server isn't trying to send you some text garbage.
My solution was to go to strictly PAP authentication, and in our case this
meant the access server did not spew garbage after the authentication
completed. Let me know if this sounds consistent with your situation.
