This sounds like a compression dis-agreement (if you get a framing 
error with every ping).

Try disabling compression:

 disable vjcomp
 deny vjcomp
 disable pred1
 deny pred1

If this solves your problem, get the latest ppp from

  http://www.freebsd.org/~brian

and remove the above lines from your config.  Things should be dandy.

If you still have problems, check out the FAQ on

  http://www.freebsd.org/FAQ/FAQ.html - section 10.7

If you drop me a line with your logs, I'll see what I can do.
