You need to add the pppd debug option and find the log that contains the
debug messages. They *may* help us find an answer to the problem.
There are some comments below about parts of the log messages you posted.

The unsupported protocol is Appletalk Control Protocol. This shouldn't
be problem.

I *think* this is an unsolicited Configure-Nak in which the ISP says that
you have to support VJ compression and that you have to accept the
IP-address 209.195.44.213 . Pppd issues the configure-nak/rej message with
and then ignores the Configure-Nak. Unsolicited Configure-Naks rarely work
in general. Pppd supports VJ compression unless you have the novj option.
I'm not sure what's going on with the IP address since the message below
shows it as the local address.
|Jun 21 12:47:33 darkstar pppd[348]: local IP address 209.195.44.213
|Jun 21 12:47:33 darkstar pppd[348]: remote IP address 209.195.44.215

We really need the missing pppd debug messages.
