My situation is [snip] Ditto. Using evil winmodem here and Debian (ppp-2.4.0f-1). 2.2.19pre3 at the moment but it's been happening for a while. Things seemed better when I turned on default-asyncmap, however it still occasionally goes belly up (almost _always_ when scping files out (uploading Debian packages)). Last time I checked it also happend with my 28.8k USB modem (a normal modem, that one). I've found a magic fix and when I've got time I'll try and burrow though the pppd source to try and find out why. The magic fix? Turn on recording in pppd (i.e. add "record /tmp/foo" to /etc/ppp/options). I'd be interested if it fixes it for you. Adrian Email: adrian.bridgett@iname.com Windows NT - Unix in beta-testing.
