I was just guessing that CBCP had anything to do with it.  The PPPD
I've got installed theoretically supports CBCP.  Yes, the windows capture
had it, which is why I thought about it.  The "nomagic" and "noendpoint"
options claim to only be neccessary if you have a broken peer, but for
all I know I /do/ have a broken peer.

Regardless, my current configuration seems to work, so.... *shrugs*

I couldn't figure out how to tell wireshark on Linux to grab all the PPP
link control handshake packets in order to compare.  But I can post the
PPPD log (that works) if you really care.
