Greetings,

I have a problem using the user-process ppp, aka iijppp.  After a few
minutes I get:

PPP ON EyeROT> write: No such process

the default route is deleted, and ppp0 is brought down.  It seems to only 
happen after the modem's been idle for a while.  And I notice that if I keep 
the modem busy, then manually exit ppp, it prints the above error message 
3-4 times in a row (depending on how long I've been using it).

Also, it's a little hard to infer how chat works with the given 
examples.  How to I make ppp keep sending CR's until our terminal 
server's prompt comes up?  My login =

"TIMEOUT 3 \"\" \\n TIMEOUT 5 UC\\-HELLO> c\\sblitzen TIMEOUT 10 ogin: danjo 
TIMEOUT 5 assword: XXXX TIMEOUT 20 danjo slirp\\s\\-P"

but the log sais:

06-04 15:32:47 [169] Expecting CONNECT
06-04 15:32:47 [169] Wait for (40): CONNECT --> CONNECT
06-04 15:33:19 [169] Expecting 
06-04 15:33:19 [169] sending: 

06-04 15:33:19 [169] Expecting UC\-HELLO>
06-04 15:33:19 [169] Wait for (5): UC\-HELLO> --> UC-HELLO>
06-04 15:33:24 [169] got:  12000

06-04 15:33:24 [169] can't get (5).

Usually you have to wait a few seconds and keep pressing CR's for the 
UC-HELLO> prompt to come up, which probably explains why ppp got 12000.

Any suggestions most appreciated.
