That is correct behavior for PPP.

You could use CHAP or PAP so they don't have to manually login to a
terminal and avoid seeing such character.

If they exit their terminal program <minicom or whatever> and launch
pppd on their client machines with the correct parameters <I forget what
they are> they should get a connection.

This is exactly how my college PPP connections were for a while on the
AIX systems I used to dial into.
