It may also be a problem with your service provider -- I had a problem (back when I still used PPP) where the connection was getting dropped mysteriously, and [after much frustration trying to figure out what was happening] it turned out my provider didn't support TCP header compression; turning off that feature in PPP made everything work.
Apparently windows PPP clients didn't use header compression, so they didn't consider it an issue ... -miles -- Friendless, adj. Having no favors to bestow. Destitute of fortune.
