There are some bugs with user ppp.  When I used it for a dedicated line,
it wouldn't work more than a day w/out dumping core.  However, Doug
Rabson is looking at some patches (Doug, how are they looking?) which
make it more robust.

My advice is to switch to kernel pppd until the bugs in user-ppp are
fixed unless you have the time and desire to track them down.
