RE: [expert] Strange problem ? (ppp)

[Jay Summet for [EMAIL PROTECTED]]

One possibility:

The kPPP that comes with M6.0 has a bug. If you user does NOT adjust their
speed setting, it leaves a "blank" setting in the config file. This blank
setting will keep pppd from connecting properly (ie, dial up works, login
script works, but PPP doesn't come up).

To fix:
1) Toggle the speed setting (ie, set to 9600 and save, then back to 115200
and save)
2) upgrade to later version.
