It may be Merit-specific, but I don't think the problem occurs at the point
where it switches the line protocol to PPP.  Otherwise the LCP negotiation 
wouldn't complete.  The problem occurs during IPCP negotiation.  The PPP packet
driver will keep sending config rejects but I haven't been able to figure out
what specifically it is rejecting.
