After a period of time where PPP works just fine, I find that it "fizzles". The config files (/etc/ppp/ppp.*) are all the same as they were on my old system. In fact, so is the modem. But this problem didn't exist on my old box. Also, on occasion the ppp program (with the -auto flag) will terminate gracefully. The logs even show that the program considers it a graceful exit. But it never did this on my old system either. I don't have any samples of the second problem, but here's some data from the first: bash-2.01$ !ping ping 199.181.141.1 PING 199.181.141.1 (199.181.141.1): 56 data bytes ^C --- 199.181.141.1 ping statistics --- 5 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100% packet loss bash-2.01$ tail -f /var/log/ppp.log Dec 19 17:11:03 darwin ppp[9954]: Phase: Phone: 2441000 Dec 19 17:11:24 darwin ppp[9954]: Phase: deflink: dial -> login Dec 19 17:11:24 darwin ppp[9954]: Phase: deflink: login -> lcp Dec 19 17:11:28 darwin ppp[9954]: Phase: bundle: Authenticate Dec 19 17:11:28 darwin ppp[9954]: Phase: deflink: his = PAP, mine = none Dec 19 17:11:28 darwin ppp[9954]: Phase: Pap Output: jaime ******** Dec 19 17:11:28 darwin ppp[9954]: Phase: Pap Input: SUCCESS (Login ok) Dec 19 17:11:28 darwin ppp[9954]: Phase: deflink: lcp -> open Dec 19 17:11:28 darwin ppp[9954]: Phase: bundle: Network Dec 19 17:12:28 darwin ppp[9954]: Phase: deflink: HDLC errors -> FCS: 1, ADDR: 0, COMD: 0, PROTO: 0 ^C bash-2.01$ pppctl 3000 Password: PPP ON darwin> close PPp ON darwin> ppp ON darwin> ppp ON darwin> open ppp ON darwin> quit Connection closed bash-2.01$ ping 38.9.211.2 PING 38.9.211.2 (38.9.211.2): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 38.9.211.2: icmp_seq=0 ttl=246 time=311.789 ms 64 bytes from 38.9.211.2: icmp_seq=1 ttl=247 time=250.015 ms ^C --- 38.9.211.2 ping statistics --- 2 packets transmitted, 2 packets received, 0% packet loss round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 250.015/280.902/311.789/30.887 ms You have new mail in /var/mail/jaime bash-2.01$ Any ideas? This *might* be happening only when I've idled out of my PPP connection. My ISP has a 15 minute idle timer. However, I just keep thinking to myself that these problems didn't exist on my old system...
