It works in the latest ppp. If your ISP accepts QUALPROTO requests (LQR), you can enable LQM logging to see what sort of quality the link is (you'll need to read the rfc to understand the numbers - sorry). If your ISP doesn't accept QUALPROTO requests, enable LCP logging and you'll see ECHO LQRs being sent to the other side. All [ECHO] LQRs should be replied. All duplicate [ECHO] LQRs *MUST* be replied to - otherwise the other side is dead. Assuming the other side is still alive, you can enable async logging to see data being read & written to the serial device. If it's being written and nothings being read, then your ISP needs to be involved on the other side doing the same thing.... > --Yarema -- Brian , , Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour....
