A packet got corrupted between the source (207.226.80.1) and your masq box. One or two are normal, line noise, dodgy network cards etc. If you get a lot it could be a problem with your PPP link. Some users have reported problems with PPP compression options (especially VJ header compression) where there is a mismatch between Linux and your provider's terminal server. Disabling compression often helps. You could run pppstats and check the error count, too high a value indicates a line or protocol problem.
