Sorry to step in late on this thread, but there are indeed patches on
the freebsd-isdn mailing list by myself and improved by Gary Jennejohn
which correct this.

I also personaly believe that LCP ECHO_REQUESTS are not the most
useful thing on the planet, but being a standard, it is your ISPs
perogative to use them, and it is the client's job to support them.

P.S. "user-ppp" by Brian Somers is not affected by this (dunno if
NetBSD is user-ppp compatible...)
