I had the same problems as you did, also with a masqueraded local network
and a Teles 16.3 ISDN-card.(also tried several kernel-versions and
patches)
For some reasons however I had set (a long time ago) the MTU for the eth0
at 1500 on my masqueraded hosts and for the ippp0 on the gateway at 576
After changing the eth0 MTU-size on all my masqueraded hosts also at 576,
the problem went away....
Don't now the technical details about it, but I can imagine that a sort
of overflow will occur when you try to transmit packages with a size of
1500, and the gateway have to resize the packages to 576
