hrm. This could be caused by many things. again there is still too little
information. Try adding the "debug" param to your pppd and read the man page
about how to squeze out any more information. As far as I can see from this
it could just be that redhat's ppp scripts are being a little too zelous
(they were at least when I ran redhat).
