No. There is just something wrong with the VJ header compression. You may
wish to use the tcpdump program and trace the flow of IP frames through the
PPP link. It may give more information as to the nature of the problem.
Let me add also, that CISCO's terminal server has never had problems in
the past with VJ header compression. I did not mean to infer that I did
not know that you were using a CISCO terminal server (I copied the line
which indicated as such), only that there was a strange condition which
caused problems with Annex's **OLD** code.
