Hi, first of all: sorry for my bad English.

I think I found a bug in the ppp kernel support.
Some day ago I try to send a reply for a post in a newsgroup, but the
connection fails.
I think it was a news server trouble, and I send the same message directly
in the mailbox, but this fails too.
I try to send the message via ftp, and it also breaks my connection... argh! :-(

Via syslog, on the console, I received the error:
ppp: frame with bad fcs, excess = f714
ppp: frame with bad fcs, excess = 1ff9
ppp: frame with bad fcs, excess = e6

And, in the ppp.log, this one:
Jan 27 06:03:46 snoopy pppd[229]: appear to have received our own echo-reply!

After this, the connection lock up completely, and I need to restart it.
On the other side of the link, I *think* there is a linux 2.0.34 machine.

My kernel is 2.0.35, my system a GNU/Debian 2.0, my pppd version is 2.3.5
I try to send the message with leafnode 1.8.1, postfix 19980105, and
the standard ftp in the netstd-3.07-2 package.

I attach the (small) message that breaks my ppp connection gzipped,
since I cannot send it in plain text :-(

Thank you,
---
