It usually means that the chat script hasn't done the right thing to
let the ISP start PPP on it's end of the connection. The ISP is usually
presenting a prompt or menu instead. A common cause is that the connect
script doesn't login to the ISP properly, or, in the case of PAP or CHAP
authentication, the script ends with CONNECT '' instead of CONNECT '\d\c'.
But there are other things that can cause the "looped back" symptom. If
this doesn't help you'll want to use the chat -v and pppd debug option and
look at the syslogd message logs in /var/log for clues.
