Sorry, I mistyped it -- as you figured out, it is /var/log/messages I meant
to refer you to. Unfortunately, what you found are not the lines we need to
see. The stuff you quoted are the lines in which the kernel reports that it
installed ppp as an available option on the system. You want to find the
lines that report the pppd actually making a connection. They will have the
form:
<date and time> <hostname> pppd[<pid>]: <message>
where the items I put in <> will be replaced by information specific to your
system &/or the attempt. The pppd sequence may be preceded by a similar set
from chat (or whatever dialer you use). You want to send us the full set of
pppd messages for one pid that ended with a dropped connection. It is
probably also worth your sending the contents of /etc/ppp/options or the
string that kppp uses to invoke pppd (except be sure not to send any
password information).
