Occasional PM3 connection problems

All:
We stared seeing occasional problems with connections to the PM3's
here where the user gets connected but can't authenticate. Last night
one of our techs reported that a couple times when he was connecting in
with a terminal program that the unit did not come up with the sign on
message and "host:" prompt but instead just started by displaying
"login:" without anything in front of it. I get the funny feeling that
this is somehow related to some of the wierd ppp connection problems in
that if the PM3 is going straight to the "login:" prompt it may not be
able to catch authentication frames.
This is hapening on a group of 3 PM3's (5 PRI's in one group and one PRI as
another hunt group) that get close to being full at prime time (the last
modem shows 1 call). ComOS is 3.5.1b20. Any thoughts?
