Right, the other end 'hung up' the connection. But, as Greg stated it wasn't the case, since he could still ping the remote site. (The only other time I've seen them was with MorningStar's PPP on a heavily loaded line. The LQM messages never got through since the link was saturated, this claiming the link was down. We disabled them there as well, since it's too easy to spoof them with normal usage.) Nate
