I think you'll need to find out what the exact message was.  If it was 
perhaps

  auth_ReadHeader: Short packet header (4 > 0) !

then you're receiving an empty authentication packet.  Older (3.0) 
versions of ppp would probably happily ignore this.  Your best bet is 
to ``set log physical'' and send me the output - I should be able to 
determine if this is the case.
