I have this same problem...  it seems that SLiRP sends down some packets 
that isn't echoed by ijjppp...  at least that is what I remeber from the 
logs with level set to 9...  or SLiRP doesn't return the echo packets...  
I was looking and twice it shutdown on me also... once after 185 
seconds... another at 181 seconds...  I haven't looked more into this 
problem...  as slip works quite fine... I might soon though...
