The Internet access for our school is routed through this ADSL link and has been running smoothly for the last 6 months. That this email arrives at the mailing list indicates that our link continues to work fine... A snippet of /var/log/ppp.log appears below: Mar 27 10:32:30 sjrouter ppp[56]: tun0: Phase: deflink: Connected!

The same sequence is repeated over and over, both in the current log file and the previous turned-over logs. UserPPP is called with -ddial -nat and the conf file sets logging to Phase tun. The ADSL router is connected via Ethernet (a second 'external' NIC) What is going on here? Is there a problem, or not? If you can shed some light on this matter, I'd be grateful to hear it!
