I run pppd from init, and every so often, pppd can't seem to negotiate a connection. It looks like it loses track of the port speed, because it _starts_ to negotiate, but eventually dies with a timeout sending LCP requests message. This problem only appeared recently; however, before this the machines in question would sporadically(about once every 1-7 days) reboot with no panic messages or anything. Every so often the machine will panic and die trying to reboot. It gives a message about being either in tty or net. Anybody have any ideas? Despite it's status as not-for-production, it appears there has been major work done on the cy driver in -current. Would this perhaps help my reboot problem? Any help is greatly appreciated. -- Neal Rigney, PERnet Communications, (409)729-4638 neal@mail.pernet.net
