X whacks PPP in Debian's Slink

[Brian Wildasinn <bwildasi@csulb.edu>]

Hi,
Installed Debian-2.1, "Slink", without anytroubles via an essentials
cdrom,
then installed the rest via ftp. Everything got downloaded, installed,
and configured without any errors whatsoever.

So here's the problem: PPP works fine except when XWindow is running!
No ping packets return from my dynamic PPP remote connection. But as
soon as I end the X session, ping, ftp, telnet all work correctly.

Switching to another window manager has not solved the problem, which
leads me to believe that X is the culprit.

Any suggestions are appreciated!
