I have been experiencing intermittant problems with a vpn
ppp connection through ssh.  I can be working along (typing
in a terminal) and then poof, no response for several
minuites.  during this time I can sometimes ping the box and
others the delay is there as well.  I can't figure out what
is causing this.  I don't know if the packets are getting
dropped on the floor or what.

I am dialing into mindspring via ppp with my linux laptop.
Ifconfig shows no errors on any interface on either box, and
nothing suspicious in the firewall logs except the modprobe
entries below.

when I bring the vpn interface up.  I have ignored these but
perhaps I should not?

I suspected that the problem was in mindspring's network but
I can hit other websites from my laptop  when this is
occurring with no problems.

Any Ideas?  I have not tried to reboot the box yet. It has
been up about 30 days and top shows very little cpu usage
during this time.

Anything else I can check before rebooting and seeing if it
helps?  I have restarted the network but no help.
