I've been chasing a similar problem all week with Demon & Mandrake 8.0, 
setting the mtu to 500 seems to reduce freeze ups but isn't a fix. :-(

I think it's pppd related as an identical machine but with an ISDN card 
doesn't have the problem. Next thing to try was a kernel upgrade if I can 
this Dang 2.4.7 to compile :-(

MTU setting is in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ppp0 on a recent 
Mandrake or Redhat box and maybe others as well.

If I ever get to the bottom of it completely I'll post the conclusion.
