I'm going to bring an older ppp to him (from > 3.2-STABLE) to see if it will work better. Any clues? I think you'll need to find out what the exact message was. If it was perhaps auth_ReadHeader: Short packet header (4 > 0) ! then you're receiving an empty authentication packet. Older (3.0) versions of ppp would probably happily ignore this. Your best bet is to ``set log physical'' and send me the output - I should be able to determine if this is the case. > -mi -- Brian Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour !
