i don't know if any of u saw the piles of junk i was getting before in my ppp.log file but after looking at it i noticed a good deal of it was from receiving a protocol 0xfd. i looked it up and found it to be compressed datagrams.
i turned off bsd and deflate compression and the problem has gone away so far it seems. i don't really like the idea of turning off software data compression so does anyone know what the problem could be at all and how i could go about fixing it more appropriately? i've run into another problem on another machine i've setup with ppp regarding lcp protocol rejects. the protocols being rejected appear to be quite random and i'm unsure of what's causing them. i thought perhaps it was because data was being corrupted since i was using a 33.6k modem with an old 16450 UART serial port, but i've upgraded the serial ports and the problem hasn't gone away. does anyone have any suggestions about what this could be as well? thanks, i look forward to a response from da Bobstopper
