Wierd ifconfig output in 2.1.130

I'm noticing some really strange ifconfig outputs with 2.1.130. For
example:

lo Link encap:Local Loopback
inet addr:127.0.0.1 Bcast:0.0.0.0 Mask:255.0.0.0
UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:3924 Metric:1
RX packets:219 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:0 errors:51604 dropped:219 overruns:0 carrier:0 coll:0

eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:80:C8:3E:06:ED
inet addr:164.107.69.191 Bcast:164.107.69.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
UP BROADCAST NOTRAILERS RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:3460 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:0 errors:131119 dropped:1466 overruns:0 carrier:0 coll:0
Interrupt:12 Base address:0x6100

ppp0 Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol
inet addr:192.168.1.1 P-t-P:192.168.1.2 Mask:255.255.255.255
UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:597 errors:1 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:1
TX packets:0 errors:92103 dropped:459 overruns:0 carrier:0 coll:0

On all three interfaces, the TX packets are zero and the errors are
incredible. Yet, I'm not getting that many errors or dropped packets that
I can tell. I can ping flood ppp0 with about 50% packet loss. That
would imply that 50% were transmitted, yet it doesn't show above. I
glanced briefly at the kernel source, but I have no idea where the
accounting for this is done. Thoughts anyone? Here is my config:
