According to Microsofts CBCP spec, there are only five codes (0-4) (see
the ``fsm states'' comment in ppp/cbcp.h).
Code 5 is invalid.... the ppp that shipped before 3.0 wouldn't have
recognised the CBCP packet at all, hence no error (or maybe a
protocol reject).
I wouldn't worry about it - unless you want to ask your ISP what
ppp implementation they're running.
