This appears to be a bug.  Unfortunately, I don't know of a fix, but lqr isn't
that important on a dial-up link (the modems will soon enough disconect if the
line quality fails), so you can just disable it with 'disable lqr' and 'deny
lqr' in your configuration.

If you are just running a single machine with a dial-up connection, running
routed is probably doing more harm than good.  Set 'routedflags=NO' in
/etc/sysconfig to disable it.
