RE: (ASCEND) Cranky PPP . . .

Since you haven't made it to 6.*.* yet, you might try regressing to
5.0Ap42 - This was one of the most stable releases I ever ran on my
Maxen.  Regularly had uptimes in excess of 120 days without reboots or
user complaints...  We ran a bunch of PPP and MPP connections on these
Maxen as well.

Just my two cents worth :-)
