Hi...
	
	I'm really curious as to whether anyone has experience with this.  I'm 
running 3.0-CURRENT, and have just upgraded to the newest source tree (as of
today) in the hopes of reducing/eliminating the following 'hills and
valleys':

=================

	This is just me talking to the other end of my PPP link, with the only
load on the link being the ping session.  No ftp, no telnet, no nothing.

	Now, the other end of the link is:

============
Aug 23 22:13:15 thelab ppp[181]: Phase: PapInput: ACK 
Aug 23 22:13:15 thelab ppp[181]: Phase: Received PAP_ACK (Welcome to NetBlazer) ============

	A NetBlazer.

	Has anyone ever noticed this when talking to a Netblazer?   I remember back
in the UUCP days that talking ??->Telebit would give bad 'interactive' response
times, but still?

Thanks...
