LAPM RETRY LIMIT means the remote client NAK'd a packet and asked for a
retransmission. The PortMaster 3 obliged, and resent the packet. Again the
client NAK'd it and asked for the packet again. This can only go so long
(actually 12 times) before the PortMaster 3 disconnects and issues a
(exceeded) LAPM RETRY LIMIT. This is generally due to very noisy phone lines.
