Re: ppp-go anomoly??

Hal -- Look at the logs; usually, pppd (and chat, if your setup uses it) reports more detail on failures there than what you are seeing at the command line. It could be something like LCP negotiation timing out. Speculating as to why it happens sometimes but not others is hopeless until you get a better handle on what "it" is. If the logs aren't reporting enough connection detail, raise temporarily the level of logging that pppd does (the "debug" option).

Greetings:  Slackware 8.0 w/2.4.13 kernel, using 'pppsetup' to
configure - working perfectly for several months.. All of a sudden,
for no apparent reason; when invoking 'ppp-go', I get the screen report
"Connect script failed" and no cursor.. Entering a ^C, then invoking
ppp-go again - starts the dialup normally.

Oddly enough; when turning the machine on in the morning the first
invocation of ppp-go dials OK.. However, any trys later in the day
return the script failure message..

This first happened a few weeks ago but, in the middle of this, I
changed ISP's so had to run pppsetup again for that configuration..
I thought this would clear up the problem but it's still with me with
the new ISP..

A minor bother but I'm sure bloody curious as to what happened and
how to fix it.. Any suggestions/comments??      TIA!!
