This is kinkd of iteresting? My Debian "woody" locked up tighter
than a drum while connected to my ISP, and I  had to power cycle it?

Debug and syslog  had this in it:

May 29 14:32:36 dabean pppd[1667]: rcvd [LCP EchoRep id=0x7 magic=0x678a818c]
^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@

^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^@^

Any ideas what this means, and where else can I look pin point the cause.
