I've been running pppd 2.3.3 on my Red Hat 5.1 box for about a year. I have two accounts, one to my ISP and the other to a Linux modempool I have setup at work. The ISP connection had been working great however, it is no longer working. I dialed into their terminal server and checked login and password, I also verified pap-secrets hasn't changed. The following is a session from the messages file with kernal debugging on. Note the "frame with bad fcs" message. Any and all assistance is greatly appreciated.
