FCS = frame check sequence. it's used by HDLC (the layer below PPP), nothing more than a form of checksum. if it is bad, it means your frames of data are corrupt. usually a result of line noise, overruns, etc. it can be fixed by making good physical connections and by using quality hardware, with sizable buffering.
