This problem aporadically occurs with my Mandrake 6.1 setup as well. It
hasn't happened in several months, and I haven't changed anything
related to PPP between then and now. I never figured out what caused the
problem. I'm wondering if it's a problem with some ISPs' setup that
Win9x and WinNT work around and Linux doesn't. Maybe you should contact
the maintainer of PPP with a description of the problem.
