In this case the "peer" is the packet modem..  So I don't think
it has anything to do with not paying my bill.  Also, this link can
sometimes stay up for multiple minutes; it's not an immediate disconnect.

Is there any way to tell PPP to ignore or Nack the LCP Disconnect?
When I connect to the same packet modem using my Tungsten E2 I dont
have this kind of problem..  And I dont think I have this problem when
I connect from windows, either.
