Wish I could say it worked for me, but iij-ppp does seem to be a temperamental beast. Of course, I could also have my setup wrong. The statements disable pred1 deny pred1 are in /etc/ppp/ppp.conf, and I also typed "deny pred1" after the error, but wasn't able to ping anything. Still, I'm now just having to re-dial, instead of rebooting, so things are getting better.
