The information you sent is a bit too fragmentary to be sure, but it sounds
like you are not doing whatever your provider requires for starting ppp at
the provider end of the connection. I don't know what this might be -- it
might involve an extra step in the login process, or a different userid, or
... well, there are too many possibilities for guessing to work -- but you
should have instructions from the university about how to do that part. (For
that matter, are you sure that your university account provides ppp service,
not just shell service?)
The "not 8-bit clean" message means that the university is sending text at a
point where pppd expects ppp-style data (probably LCP packets).
