I've got an identical configuration and I've noticed the same problems
under ppp (2.2.0e I believe).
When I try to ftp upload (or ftp _from_ my machine too) the file is just
zero'd on the remote machine and my connection just hangs. I tried
running netstat and it shows a sendq the size of the file, so it appears
nothing is actually being sent.
I've also noticed the sendq on my telnet sessions builds up to 10-40 bytes
sometimes for no reason.
I never ran .76, so this started happening in .76 or .77 I suppose. Any
ideas?
