Most likely an incorrect initialization string for your modem. Try
checking the manual for your modem to get the correct one. You can
also try opening the modem script for your modem in Mac OS with a
text program like BBEdit to get the correct string.
The basic string is usually ATZ or AT&F or AT&F1 (depends on the
modem). Try those -- they normally turn on auto-negotiation as the
default setting. kppp also has an auto-config feature that can ask
your modem for its available settings.
