Here's what is going on AFAIK:

Check the modem that it gets a BAD CRC on - it will most likely have no
error correction (cheap user modem or they turned it off <unlikely>) and the
client computer wishes to leave the error correction up to the PPP protocol
so when a normal error comes along, instead of the modems fixing it PPP
reports a BAD CRC and corrects it.
