>Description:
Erratic function.  Somtimes I can PING the outside world 
and other times I cannot.  When it fails, I have to kill PPP
and start it again.  It fails more often than it succeeds.

I usually start it with: ppp -alias -background ibm

When it does work to the point that I can PING the outside
world, I get the following message:

   ppp[241]: Error: Got ConfigReq while state = 4


I am also running Samba, which works fine, in case there
may be any coexistence problems.
