Did you ever consider that you might be about the only one who gets
them?

I assume you're using PPP (you didn't write it), so which version do
you use on FreeBSD?  Did you enable hardware flow control (on both
sides, FreeBSD and the modem)?  This rather smells like flow-control
problems.

I get between 1.5 KB/s and 2 KB/s over a 16800 bps ZyXEL <-> ZyXEL
link (not the most modern one on my side).  Either SLIP or PPP,
doesn't matter.  In the PPP case, it's FreeBSD-2.2-current iijppp on
my side, and FreeBSD-2.0.5 kernel ppp on the remote end.
