Hi,

sorry for not responding more quickly.  Lots of work.

Thanks.

Data connection established (fine).

This looks for me like an incoming PPP call.  This "garbage" could very
well be a PPP LCP frame.

Mgetty/vgetty will recognize this just fine, but ("no opts") it is not
compiled with "CFLAGS=-DAUTO_PPP".  So just recompile, and those calls 
should be handed over to pppd.
