Invalid PIO on port S2

Hi, just lately a PM2eR at a POP has started hanging up on a lot / most
login attempts. It goes like so:

--
CONNECT


login: Plithium
password:


NO CARRIER

--


In /var/log/messages all I see is a message saying "Port S# disconnected
user Plithium" as if I was logging off normally.  The same thing happens
when logging into a shell account.


I'm running Livingston Radius 1.16 on a FreeBSD box + some minor patches
to start PPP when there is a P in front of the login. 


So when I telnet to the portmaster and type debug 0x51 ; set console and
try to login to a dialup again I get the error:


	"Invalid PIO on Port S2"


Anyone know what this means?  Or a way to better understand what is going
on?  


TIA.
