I have enabled the lcp-echo stuff and no crashing occurred, of course it did not work either, but I suspect it was because my provider does not support the echo. I have noticed on other systems running 2.0R that they like to reboot a fair amount when using ppp (I am running current), It looks like its tied to the routing tables somehow. I once added 2 default routes to my system then did a pppdown and "pop", time for a bathroom break, a reboot occurs.
