That suggests that LCP protocol is being exchanged because the peer (other end) is saying go away. > so I'm at a loss. The link lasts for 15-20 seconds. The logs show bytes > sent, but none received. (I don't know what sort of bytes are being logged. i.e. is it useful bytes as opposed to housekeeping bytes.) I think you should add "debug" to your options file (either the master one or a provider one; whatever works) which will make the log capture more interesting things like: pppd: sent [LCP ConfReq id=0x1 <asyncmap 0x0> <auth chap 05> <magic 0x2b9932af> <pcomp> <accomp>] pppd: rcvd [LCP ConfAck id=0x1 <asyncmap 0x0> <auth chap 05> <magic 0x2b9932af> <pcomp> <accomp>] pppd: sent [LCP EchoReq id=0x0 magic=0x2b9932af] pppd: sent [CHAP Challenge id=0x1 <f...f>, name = "foo"] pppd: rcvd [LCP TermReq id=0x3 "peer refused to authenticate"] pppd: LCP terminated by peer (peer refused to authenticate) pppd: sent [LCP TermAck id=0x3] Cheers, -- Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tel: +44 1908 653 739 Fax: +44 1908 655 151 Snail: David Wright, Earth Science Dept., Milton Keynes, England, MK7 6AA Disclaimer: These addresses are only for reaching me, and do not signify official stationery.
