Annoying pauses

Recently I have ben noticing long delays and pauses when connecting though
our portmaster. On a 28.8 connection, ping times are around 150ms for
around a dozen, then suddenly shoot up for over 4000ms for a few then
back to normal. This is pinging the portmaster from a remote PPP dialin.
It's not the ethernet, it is nowhere close to being oversaturated.

Any ideas? This is causing Web browsing to be a pain when this problem
starts up. I read some comments about MTU values earlier. Thanks.
