In CCP? That seems unlikely since at least LCP should have previously
completed (gotten to Open), right? Sounds more like the other side
isn't implementing CCP, but isn't responding with a prot-rej. At least
that the only way I can think of that this would be likely to happen.
Maybe I'm missing something though.
