Well, for this user, the log file is very clear:

Data connection established.

User entered "bdlin" and pressed <RETURN>.

... so "login bdlin" is called. Make the user fix his chat program.

(BTW: even if the user *had* sent a PPP packet, which he didn't, it would
not have worked either, as there is no /AutoPPP/ line in your "login.config")
