That's a dead give-away that the other side has a front-end device that tunnels the PPP traffic back to back-end servers. The reason it works sometimes and not at other times could be that you sometimes hit a broken (or misconfigured) back-end server, and other times you hit one that's ok. It could also be that someone on their side noticed the errors and fixed something. You could be just that lucky. :-/ -- James Carlson 42.703N 71.076W
