I had problem in configuring pppd. I enclose my options and the error
meesages here. Is there anyone can kindly solve my problem. Thank you
in advance.

I had a similar problem at first with my ppp installation (on 1.1
though). The error I got referred to all characters being even
parity, but the solution may be the same. I was originally using the
std.9600 table for getty, which leaves the terminal in even parity
mode. I switched it to the Pc table which uses no parity and
everything worked.
So, try checking the details of your d38400 getty table entry to make
sure the terminal is left in the right mode.
Cheers,
