I installed wireshark and WinPCAP-4.0-beta on my WinXP VM machine and
connected to the modem..  It had no PPP problems and didn't get
disconnected.  So clearly it's a software/configuration problem and
not a hardware problem.

Here's the PPP pcap log of the connection.  Anyone around with
enough PPP clue to help me compare this pcap log to the linux
ppp debug log and maybe help me figure out what the heck Linux
is doing differently than windows that causes the LCP Disconnect
from the modem to me?

I'm wondering if it's CBCP?  Maybe I need a newer version of PPP?
I've currently got 2.4.2-6.2.1 on FC5; I can try building the FC6
version which I believe that CBCP support....

Suggestions?
