Both servers and modems are working fine except for 1 problem. Now and then when I have a line drop, the server that is initiating the connection goes through the entire ppp startup, but does not go through the IP allocation phase, it gets connected, but does not get allocated an IP. It's almost as if PPP forgets to initiate the tcp connection. How can I enable this as a requirement. Thanks Mark Below are excerpts from my ppp.conf files Initiating server: direct-think: set dial "" set line /dev/cuaa0 set sp 38400 set timeout 0 set reconnect random 50 set log Phase Chat LQM set login "ABORT NO\\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 5 ogin:--ogin: pppthink word: 12345" add! default hisaddr enable lqr accept lqr set ifaddr 10.0.21.14 10.0.21.13 255.255.255.252 set server /tmp/ppp-think "" 0177 # The diagnostic port (-rw------) Receiving server: pppthink: set timeout 0 set lqrperiod 90 set log Phase LQM set ifaddr 10.0.21.13 10.0.21.14 255.255.255.252 enable lqr accept lqr enable proxyall enable dns
