[ale] Weird DSL problem...

[dhurst at kennesaw.edu (Dow Hurst)]

Maybe you are having problems with your ppp connection reading special 
characters during the ssh login from the remote box.  The connection 
could be dropped if pppd interprets a disconnect when there really 
wasn't one.  Read up on the pppd docs.  Just a $0.02 guess.
