According to the M$ specs, there are only three valid CBCP codes,
REQ, RESPONSE & ACK (1, 2 & 3). If ppp gets something outside of
this range, it moans with the above message and drops it on the floor.
Is the other side a M$ OS ? (guffaw, guffaw!). It may be worth
taking it up with the remote admin....
