Any help would be appreciated. The message means that ppp has been sitting on some data for 2 minutes (or whatever the choked timeout is set to) and wasn't able to send *any* of it. This normally happens because of multiple [re]dial failures. If the link is up when this happens, it indicates that your UART/ modem is jammed. -- Brian Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour !
