That is bizarre. This very same line was introduced in
2.0.12 and broke *my* PPP. That's why it was taken out again
in 2.0.16. Obviously we could go a long way putting this line
back and taking it out again...
Seems to me that there is something fishy somewhere
else. Someone suggested a bug in VJ header compression. It did help
for me. People who have a ppp problem maybe can try putting a line
with `-vj' in their /etc/ppp/options file to turn the compression off,
and report the results ?
