OK, thanks. The problem I see is only against an ERX.  So either 
misconfigured ERX or something about Juniper's implementation.  As the 
original poster was connecting against Frace Telecom and I to Bell Canada 
and given that VJ Header compression also does not play well with FreeBSD's 
I am leaning to the ERX.

Back to the original question of how best to work around this.  I will be 
deploying close to 100 boxes, most of which will talk to an ERX. It would 
be nice if I could avoid having to manually patch the boxes each time I do 
an update.  If I work with my programmers here to come up with a patch, is 
there even a chance that someone would commit it to HEAD and then MFC it 
back to RELENG_4?  Who is looking after PPP these days anyways ?
