Hi all, I just got this error on my logs from my dialup server... Chat: Annex Command Line Interpreter * Copyright (C) 1988, 1999 Bay Networks^M Chat: Checking authorization, Please wait... ^M chat: alarm Chat: send (^M) Chat: send (^M) pppd: Serial Connection Established. pppd: Using interface ppp0 pppd: Connect:ppp0 <--> /dev/ttys0 pppd: LCP: timeout sending Config-requests pppd: Connection terminated pppd: Receive serial link is not 8-bit clean: pppd: Problem: all had bit 7 set to 0 pppd: Exit I thouht at first it might be my serial port, so I swapped from ttys1 to ttys0 and gave it a shot again. it conected great, and two hours later, I had to kill the connection (ifdown ppp0) as it had stopped responding. (the ISP uses a strange method of kicking people off when they have been on longest during peak periods.) anyway, when I went to reconnect it,, I got the above message... I am not sure, but I think the problem is at the ISP's end,, although I can connect with my windows 2000 notebook.. I have a suspecision that their kick method doesn't work with linux, it stops your connection from getting out, but it doesn't cut the connection altogether like it does in windows... They wouldn't like that and may have disabled me from logging in using linux somehow. Does anyone know about this? rgds Frank
