I'm using the version of ppp that comes with slink, 2.3.5-2, and I log in using a chat script to start up slirp at my ISP. (They make available login scripts -- for windows and macintosh users -- to start slirp, but they don't have any direct ppp login for reasons that are a mystery to me.) The ISP is on SunOS.
I can dial in fine with minicom and use it as a terminal, but when I use slirp and ppp the ppp connection seems to freeze up at times and then start working again. Even something as simple as a telnet session gets stuck at times. I thought maybe there isn't an 8 bit clean link, and I tried invoking slirp as slirp "asyncmap ffffffff" "escape ff" Unfortunately, this didn't seem to help much, if at all. I've written to the sysadmin, but I haven't gotten any useful information. Anyone have any ideas about how to solve this? How to diagnose it? What more information should I provide?
