Probably a compression protocol, which is rejected by your end.
This is normal and harmless, as ppp is essentially a negotiation
process at the LCP (link control protocol level). To find out more,
turn on debugging in pppd, and make sure syslog is capturing all
local2.* messages (I have all my logs also sent to /dev/tty12 so
that I can easily watch them happen dynamically, way cool).

This is normal. The versions of ppp in more recent redhat distros
include the ability to negotiate the remote DNS server, and ppp can
be configured to re-write /etc/resolv.conf based on this. (The same
information can be captured as environment variables in
/etc/ppp/ip-up).
