I get the following:

08-14 11:02:39 [251] HDLC errors -> FCS: 1 ADDR: 0 COMD: 0 PROTO: 0
08-14 11:03:39 [251] HDLC errors -> FCS: 3 ADDR: 0 COMD: 0 PROTO: 0
08-14 11:04:39 [251] HDLC errors -> FCS: 5 ADDR: 0 COMD: 0 PROTO: 0
08-14 11:12:39 [251] HDLC errors -> FCS: 1 ADDR: 0 COMD: 0 PROTO: 0
08-14 11:13:03 [251] Disconnected!

lqr and chap, which I would expect to cause a problem like this, are
disabled. My version of ppp doesn't mention protocomp or acfcomp. pred1
is supported, but I've got it disabled. The problem exists with two
different modems, and only shows itself on a PM3.
