^^^^^^^^^
This looks rather suspicious, what is it for? I think they are
un-necessary. You're saying to expect nothing twice, so if the login
prompt arrives that could be causing the message.
The man page, Handbook, and ppp.conf.sample all show ``TIMEOUT 10
gin:--gin:''. Try that instead.
Actually, are you sure that your ISP doesn't use CHAP/PAP?? In which
case you need ``set authname'' and ``set authkey'' rather than ``set
login''.

Trust the computer industry to shorten Year 2000 to Y2K. It
was this thinking that caused the problem in the first place.
