A ``set log command phase lcp ipcp ccp chat'' log would be nice :-)
Also, a ``show mem'' and a ``show modem'' output might be useful
(you'll need to create a diagnostic socket (``set server ...'') or
run it interactively).
Also, do things go back to normal by killing & restarting ppp ? What
does ``ps al'' say ?
