I had this same problem. Unfortunately you are the only other person I have seen who has this problem, so I never found any official fixes. All I can suggest is to make sure you have the latest version of pppd and the latest kernel, or an older version of pppd and an older kernel. All I can figure that there are certain combinations of pppd and kernels that have this problem. Mine works now with the latest kernel and pppd (I think the 'f' version). Yes this is definitely one of the most annoying problems I have seen. Just when you think it is working fine, it hangs up on you :-( Tony.
