Upon the suggestion of someone else, I turned off compression.  I did 
this by adding -vj -ac -pc -bsdcomp to the pppd line, or adding related 
options to my ppp.conf file for user ppp.  It seems to have done the 
trick.  The only compression I forsee as still being there is the modem 
comprssion(V.42bis).  I do not know if it's one, some, or all of those 
compressions that have caused the problem, nor do I know how to test the 
total bandwidth of the connection in order to use the most efficient 
compression(s).

Thanks for your help.
