Me, again... this is still unsolved. I've tried the two solutions offered:
	1. echo 0 >/proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_timestamps
	2. try turning off all compression by ppp
Neither one helped (though by turning off compression my throughput MAY have
gone up to 500-600 bps.)

I've attached my ppp.log and debug.log for any kind sole that wants to dive
in! :-)
