Ahhhh.... I had assumed that Poppa was possessed by Frypp, but also I
was considering the possiblity that Poppa was controlled by Frypp, and
the signal alteration was actually Frypp hacking into Poppa's signal,
especially seeing as the conversation from Poppa continued afterwards
without pause, as though he didn't know. Possession is a difficult thing
to deal with at the best of times :)

Oh well, looks like Frypp really is dead, and my thoughts on him hacking
was wrong. *sigh* back to the drawing board :)
