This means that somewhere (most likely in the /etc/ppp/options file) pppd is getting the "proxyarp" option. Naturally proxyarp is not useful (and may be causing ppp to fail) if you don't have a network card. > > At other places amd at the end there are ppp.log entries that > say the line is not 8 bit clear and that bit 7 is 0.

When you try to connect to a host which prints out a user-readable "login: " and banner screen, naturally all the data which is printed out will have bit 7 = 0 since there aren't any standard printable characters with an ascii code above 127. > Any help would be greatly appriciated. > > Chris I don't know if the above will completely solve your problem. It generally helps those of us trying to help when you include the *actual* error/log messages which occur. Remember, when asking a question of the list keep in mind detail, clarity, and brevity. -- Jens B. Jorgensen [EMAIL PROTECTED]
