Dear all, I have a very nasty problem: I can't upload files from my machine.
I'm connected to the Internet via an ordinary dialup (ppp). All goes smooth, I can navigate and work remotely via telnet or ssh. I'm running a potato 2.2r0 on a laptop. Problems arise when I try to serve files by either uploading them directly via ssh or ftp towards some remote, or by connecting to a remote and try to retrieve files from my machine. What happens is that after the first few Kb's, the transfer hangs and I can only disconnect by hanging up. Note that SMALL, ascii tranfers end succesfully. This is an example of what /var/log/messages tells me in one case where I was trying from a remote to log into my machine and get files via ftp: -------------------------------------- Jun 24 19:25:46 paperoga wu-ftpd[294]: FTP LOGIN FROM pippo.pluto.paperoga.it [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] pippo Jun 24 19:29:05 paperoga pppd[254]: No response to 4 echo-requests Jun 24 19:29:05 paperoga pppd[254]: Serial link appears to be disconnected.

(are there other logs which may tell me more?) Do I have to give away my monster-laptop to my newborn to amuse himself?.... Thanks very much.
