It is part of PPP. If the connection is not clear control characters can
be trashed. So PPP has the ability to escape them. Exactly what is
escaped is set with the async map. 00000000 is nothing escaped, ffffffff is
everything escaped. Please don't ask me what all the intermediate steps
are. :-) The PPP spec explains it in more detail.
As for how to fix it - I can't help you there. It seems every dialer
package is different.
Escaping everything is probably going to halve his throughput.

Win95, right? Win95 seems to default to that mask. I believe that
mask escapes XON/XOFF. Unnecessary if the connection is configured
properly. But not a major throughput drain and it is idiot proof that
way. If the end user sets XON/XOFF on their modem, it won't choke the
link.
