Hi,

	Sounds like a simple misconfiguration. 'lcp-echo-failure' and 
'lcp-echo-interval' are two option file configuration items, and it 
sounds like your file is screwed up so these are on the same line, 
instead of having numbers followed by enter. Can you check 
/etc/ppp/options and see what you have?

lcp-echo-failure 3
lcp-echo-interval 40

These would be fairly sane....
