I disabled LQR, and the problem has stopped happening. I got suspicious of LQR when I looked in my ppp.log and saw this: *** Jun 5 18:01:40 jake ppp[74]: tun0: LCP: deflink: RecvEchoRequest(1) state = Opened Jun 5 18:01:40 jake ppp[74]: tun0: LCP: deflink: SendEchoReply(1) state = Opened Jun 5 18:02:00 jake ppp[74]: tun0: LCP: deflink: RecvEchoRequest(2) state = Opened Jun 5 18:02:00 jake ppp[74]: tun0: LCP: deflink: SendEchoReply(2) state = Opened Jun 5 18:02:10 jake ppp[74]: tun0: LCP: deflink: RecvEchoRequest(3) state = Opened Jun 5 18:02:10 jake ppp[74]: tun0: LCP: deflink: SendEchoReply(3) state = Opened Jun 5 18:02:21 jake ppp[74]: tun0: LCP: deflink: RecvEchoRequest(4) state = Opened Jun 5 18:02:21 jake ppp[74]: tun0: LCP: deflink: SendEchoReply(4) state = Opened Jun 5 18:02:41 jake ppp[74]: tun0: LCP: deflink: RecvEchoRequest(5) state = Opened Jun 5 18:02:41 jake ppp[74]: tun0: LCP: deflink: SendEchoReply(5) state = Opened Jun 5 18:02:51 jake ppp[74]: tun0: LCP: deflink: RecvEchoRequest(6) state = Opened Jun 5 18:02:51 jake ppp[74]: tun0: LCP: deflink: SendEchoReply(6) state = Opened Jun 5 18:03:01 jake ppp[74]: tun0: LCP: deflink: RecvEchoRequest(7) state = Opened Jun 5 18:03:02 jake ppp[74]: tun0: LCP: deflink: SendEchoReply(7) state = Opened Jun 5 18:03:12 jake ppp[74]: tun0: LCP: deflink: RecvEchoRequest(8) state = Opened Jun 5 18:03:12 jake ppp[74]: tun0: LCP: deflink: SendEchoReply(8) state = Opened Jun 5 18:03:32 jake ppp[74]: tun0: LCP: deflink: RecvEchoRequest(9) state = Opened Jun 5 18:03:32 jake ppp[74]: tun0: LCP: deflink: SendEchoReply(9) state = Opened Jun 5 18:04:03 jake ppp[74]: tun0: LCP: deflink: RecvEchoRequest(10) state = Opened Jun 5 18:04:03 jake ppp[74]: tun0: LCP: deflink: SendEchoReply(10) state = Opened Jun 5 18:04:13 jake ppp[74]: tun0: LCP: deflink: RecvEchoRequest(11) state = Opened Jun 5 18:04:13 jake ppp[74]: tun0: LCP: deflink: SendEchoReply(11) state = Opened Jun 5 18:04:17 jake ppp[74]: tun0: Phase: deflink: ** Too many LQR packets lost ** Jun 5 18:04:17 jake ppp[74]: tun0: CCP: deflink: State change Stopped --> Closed Jun 5 18:04:17 jake ppp[74]: tun0: CCP: deflink: State change Closed --> Initial Jun 5 18:04:17 jake ppp[74]: tun0: LCP: deflink: LayerDown Jun 5 18:04:17 jake ppp[74]: tun0: LCP: deflink: State change Opened --> Starting Jun 5 18:04:17 jake ppp[74]: tun0: Phase: deflink: open -> lcp Jun 5 18:04:17 jake ppp[74]: tun0: IPCP: deflink: LayerDown: 64.39.186.203 Jun 5 18:04:17 jake ppp[74]: tun0: IPCP: deflink: State change Opened --> Starting Jun 5 18:04:17 jake ppp[74]: tun0: IPCP: deflink: LayerFinish.
