By default, pppd attempts to detect loopbacks on the underlying
interface using a pseudo-randomly generated magic number and checks if
the same value is received. The seed for the PRNG is a hash of hostname
XOR current time XOR pid, which is likely to collide on NIPA, causing
false positives. Disable magic number generation.

As done in pppoe.sh, start socat as the syslog listener. In case the
test fails, dump its log to see what's going on.
