Ditto.  Using evil winmodem here and Debian (ppp-2.4.0f-1).  2.2.19pre3 at
the moment but it's been happening for a while.  Things seemed better when I
turned on default-asyncmap, however it still occasionally goes belly up
(almost _always_ when scping files out (uploading Debian packages)).  Last
time I checked it also happend with my 28.8k USB modem (a normal modem, that
one).

I've found a magic fix and when I've got time I'll try and burrow though the
pppd source to try and find out why.  The magic fix? Turn on recording in
pppd (i.e. add "record /tmp/foo"  to /etc/ppp/options).  I'd be interested
if it fixes it for you.
