The problem isn't that they get lost, the problem is that they have the
wrong IP address (source) on them, so the answer gets lost.  Until your
PPP link is up you don't know what your new IP number is going to be so
the packets are assembled with the wrong address.  No amount of buffering
is going to help that.

See my other mail for the solution.
