Well, it would be good if you actually told us what problem you were
describing. Is this a new connection attempt after the first hang up?
What?

What repeats over and over-- I see no repeat.

You also do not tell us info like what kind of modem is this-- external,
internal, serial, usb, pci, winmodem,....

I assume what you are refering to is the "inappropriate ioctl" line.
This indicates a hardware problem.

Actually, it looks to me like another pppd is up on the line. Those
EchoReq are another pppd receiving stuff on an open pppd on another
line. More information on what it is you are trying to do, on what your
system is, and what the problem is might get you help.
