It appears that the login script throws a fit and passes a SIGHUP back to
the calling agent. Check your login script.

iijppp's docs were originally written in Japanese. They have been
translated to English recently and are available in PostScript format. I
think it's on freefall.freebsd.org but I'm not sure.

Ah, a Cisco terminal server. We use the same units here at the UO. Here
is my login script:
set login "TIMEOUT 5 Username:-\\r-Username: username word: password UOnet
ppp"
Just replace username, password with your info and replace 'UOnet' with
something like 'rice.edu' as the string to look for. (Our cisco reports
UOnet> for the prompt.)
