I think you might need to provide a little more detail on exactly what
message you're getting and what the word "prompt" means in this context.

At a guess, the problem is that there's a rule in your /etc/syslog.conf
(or /etc/rsyslog.conf on some Linux systems) that is directing messages
for 'daemon' to /dev/console.

pppd always writes to syslog, with severity level based on the nature of
the problem.  It never writes a message above "error" severity, so as
long as only "daemon.crit" (and above) are directed to the console, you
shouldn't have that problem.

But that's just a guess.  I don't know whether the message you're
talking about is from pppd or from the kernel or is possibly from
something unrelated to PPP.
