I think the key evidence here is that you are seeing your magic number
coming back from the peer in his configure request. That is never
supposed to happen, and that is what the magic number is for -- to
detect a looped-back condition. It most likely means that PPP is not
really running at all on the other side and the data you are sending is
simply being echoed back for some reason. If you look at all those logs,
there is additional evidence that that is what's happening. So you
aren't really talking to PPP on the other side. You are hearing your own
echo. Since you have access to both sides, I'd look at the log on the
other side during this failure.
