Well, i've discovered this: windows doesn't disconnect prematurely.
FreeBSD does, using both userland ppp and kernel ppp.  Even KPPP gets
kicked off often.  The windows connection wasn't anything special setup by
the ISP, just a new connection with the right number plugged in.  I've
tried the scripts for linux i DL'ed from my ISP, and that includes an 'mtu
1006' in the ppp-options file.  Seems that doesn't make a difference.

What i don't understand is why this only happens with FreeBSD?  It happens
with both ISP's, both ppp's.  I've tried a myriad of modem settings, but
the results are inconsistent.  Just when i think i found the solution, the
problem recurs.

The log only shows 'carrier lost'.
