Hi Gang, The situatuion here is one of a new user (me) and a problems staing connected to my service provider on a 28.8K Line.
My gut feeling is that the Phone Line is dirty. But being new to Linux, I am not familar with what the reporting is telling me. On to some facts, 1) chat work fine. We assume this due to a connection being made and shown in /var/log/messages. 2) ppp comes up to IP mode as reported in messages file. 3) ppp goes down as reported in messages file after about 2 mins of operating. 4) /var/log/daemon.log reports Hangup (SIGHUP) and then modem hangup. 5) /var/log/debug shows the following: ppp_tty_read: called buf=00011578 nr=1504 ppp_tty_read: len = 14 ppp_tty_read: passing 16 bytes up ppp_dev_xmit_lower: fcs is fbdc ppp_dev_xmit: writing 18 chars 6) Twice in the last 5 days the connection was made and held for 6 hours. But not repeatable on a consistance nature. Can any one point me to information defining fcs and other debug information shown above? Can someone relate what the above means. I do not think its the configuration of PPP, but may be something else I am missing. Any one care to help, I am off line unitl I can solve problem. Thanks, Jim Fuller EMAIL [EMAIL PROTECTED]
