More likely (to continue the speculations) the problem is in
form of the client for some reason *requiring* that either IPX,
or NETBIOS, or BOTH must be available before the connection
will work properly. If either fails, connection is terminated.
The connection was up for several seconds (you reported) as the
PPP was doing protocol handshakes to find out which protocols are
supported, and how. It was terminated when the handshake deter-
mined that some essential (?) protocol was not available.
Had the connection been up for several minutes before crashing,
then the reason would have had to be somewhere else..

Quite readable, thank you. Your spoken accent may be another story,
but this is not a voice communication medium :-)
