Ethernet Lockout with PPPD & Soundmodem

I have been experimenting with the soundmodem on my computer, just receiving on 144.39. The Ethernet works fine to the family's Win95 box until the Linux box, mine, dials the ISP. The Ethernet stops communicating between the machines right after the ppp0 -> /dev/modem. If I wait until after the PPP link is up before starting the soundmodem it works until PPP drops the connection. Both PPP & Soundmodem are modules.
Running ping on the Linux box show Ethernet activity on the hub but no response. I have rebooted the family computer and the Ethernet still doesn't communicate. The only way I have found so far is to reboot the Linux box to get the two computers communicating.
Any suggestions are welcome & thanks in advanced.
Just forgot but the I'm running Slackware 3.4 with a 2.0.36 Kernel. I have the ax25 utils 2.4.5 (?).
