This should be in a FAQ somewhere. It almost always means that ppp has started up at your end while some sort of a shell is still running at the other end, echoing everything that ppp "types". It usually results from a chatscript problem. I had my system start doing this out of the blue a few months ago. Turned out that my isp had made a change that resulted in what had been a working chat being too fast. I had to add some delays. Perhaps your crash punctured your chat file? > If I execute "poff" it returns that there is more than one pppd running, > but "ps -ax" reports only one. pppd looks in /var/run to find out how many ppp's are running. Go into /var/run and remove all the ppp*.pid files. -- John Hasler [EMAIL PROTECTED] (John Hasler) Dancing Horse Hill Elmwood, WI -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
