Thanks for the response.
Unfortunately, they are not interested in working with me. The support model
for Linux is 'we get you the account, then you're on your own.' For a variety
of reasons, switching providers is not an option for me. I have tried turning
off compression (I think). I removed all mppe-* directives from my
ppp/options file, and tried the nopcomp and noaccomp switches. None helped --
in fact the server Term'd me when I did. It appears he requires compression.
For grins, I also tried ONLY having mppe-128 and mppe-stateless (in successive
runs). I successfully negotiated a 128 connection, with the same ping/ProtRej
results. The only difference was that during the ConfReq cycles, both I and
he traded the same mppe coding:
sent [CCP ConfReq id=0x2 <mppe 0 0 0 40>]
rcvd [CCP ConfReq id=0x4 <mppe 0 0 0 40>]
sent [CCP ConfAck id=0x4 <mppe 0 0 0 40>]
rcvd [CCP ConfAck id=0x2 <mppe 0 0 0 40>]
Stateless appears to be unsupported -- I get the same result (disconnection)
I get when having no mppe-* line.
