The choked output queue is the result of ppp being unable to send
packets queued to go out. Are there excessive dial failures ?
By default, ppp allows 2 minutes before dumping its output queue and
starting again. When it does this, it mentions it with the above
message. You can change this behaviour with the ``set choked''
command. Check the man page for details (search for ``choked'').
