How do you set up PPPD to do this? That is cool! I've been searching for something
like that! Please tell me how it is done!

Do you have an emu10k1? Mandrake shipped a version of the driver for that that had
serious (and I mean SERIOUS) bugs, one that caused a major NMI error to be reported
about once a second or so (and syslog would grab it, and store it on your hard-drive).
Check your /var/log/messages for any line with NMI in it. If you find a bunch of
error
messages, there is your problem.
If not, maybe /var/log/messages will have some help anyways. ~,^
