FCS errors (PM3 & FreeBSD)

I've noticed that with our PM3 with a connection from a FreeBSD machine
(either using pppd or ij-ppp) I will encounter a stream of FCS errors
followed by a disconnect. Each side of the connection thinks that the
other side terminated the connection. This is a fairly repeatable
situation that does *not* happen with the PM2e.

Everything I know to try has failed to change this behavior at all. It
also seems to show itself after a period of higher activity, but not
always.

Has anyone seen similar behavior with FreeBSD, Linux, or some other
machine that uses pppd?
