modem reporting a lot of errors

[Shao Zhang <shao@linuxfreak.com>]

Hi,
	I am getting a lot of errors for my ppp0 interface.
	ifconfig shows:

	ppp0      Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol  
	          inet addr:129.94.16.27  P-t-P:129.94.15.6  Mask:255.255.255.255
                  UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
                  RX packets:42548 errors:2233 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:2233
                  TX packets:35110 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
	          Collisions:0 

	I only left modem on for about 4 hours. And I got 2000 errors already.
	Is there any way to avoid this??

	In addition, should I use xon/xoff or hardware for the flow control??

	Thanks.

Shao.
