My setup did what yours did until I cleaned up ppp.linkup and
ppp.linkdown. It still happens but not as often. I "ppp -auto
pmdemand" instead of "rochelle".

I have in my ppp.linkup

pmdemand:
        delete ALL
        add 0 0 HISADDR

In my ppp.linkdown, I have

pmdemand:
 iface clear

This seemed to clean it up.
