The best log setting to start with is something like set log phase chat lcp ipcp If ppp is disconnecting, it'd usually be either because of an idle timer or an lqr failure. You can disable LQRs with ``disable lqr'' and ``deny lqr'' to stop this happening. These LQR problems should be fixed these days :-/ It *used* to be the case that when the link is busy, the peer doesn't bother replying to LQRs because it doesn't have to unless an LQR is resent... Ppp *used* to never resend packets, it would send a new one each time and would fail & disconnect after 5 in a row have had no reply. Now it should be resending the same LQR. If it is, and the peer doesn't respond, they're either dead or breaking the rfc and ppp (correctly) disconnects. This is the theory anyway :-] If the other side is disconnecting, I'm afraid you're gonna have to start guessing :-( A good start is the FAQ at http://www.FreeBSD.org/FAQ/userppp.html > I have had a recent problem with user PPP disconnecting after uploading ~ 3MB > of data.
