Second line seems to imply, to me, that your pppd startup 
command/script/whatever has something like:

somecommandhere > pppd

or 

somecommandhere | pppd


or even

pppd > somecommandhere

or

pppd | somecommandhere


Can you show us the command that starts pppd?

stdin is the generic-input-place, and a pipe or redirection into
or from pppd /appears/ to be going to stdin somehow. If we can 
see the pppd command, we might be able to figure out how.
