i have a problem that only affect FTP downloads ...

after 300k, my ppp link to my isp always dies.  logs show:
(default debug level)
...
...
OsLinkup: 123.45.678.9
** 2 Too many ECHO packets are lost. **
OsLinkdown: 123.45.678.9
Phase Terminate.
Phase Dead.

i this problems remains when redialing ...

...
...
Phase Authenticate
Phase Network
** 2 Too many Echo packets are lost. **
Phase Terminate.
Phase Dead.

my isp claims they have no problems (Linux box + W95 clients).  i have no
problems with HTTP, Telnet, etc.  unless auto mode tries to redial,
in which case i have the problems above.  i must Quit ppp & restart
it to get it to connect again.
