I'm running a new install of 2.2.2; most ppp works fine.  However one
isp drops every 3 minutes on an echo issue.  I'm using the userland ppp.

10-19 15:06:51 [15810] OsLinkup: 140.174.208.205
10-19 15:09:51 [15810] ** 1 Too many ECHO packets are lost. **
10-19 15:09:51 [15810] OsLinkdown: 140.174.208.205
10-19 15:09:51 [15810] Phase: Terminate
10-19 15:09:51 [15810] Disconnected!
10-19 15:09:51 [15810] Connect time: 183 secs
10-19 15:09:51 [15810] Phase: Dead
10-19 15:09:51 [15810] Phase: Dead
10-19 15:09:51 [15810] Connection lost, maximum (0) times

Do I need to turn on the ability to echo?  Is the userland ppp just
not up to date?  I'm talking isdn to an ascend unit of uncertain make.
Isdn to a livingston at another isp works fine.  I'm sure 3 min is the
link up echo from the ascend unit.

Suggestions?
