Yes, I had this same problem when using SLiRP on the other end of the PPP link. I discovered that by disabling pred1 and lqr in PPP, I could advoid this problem. You may be experiencing something similar, so I'd try: Type: disable pred1 lqr deny pred1 lqr before typing "term" in PPP. I don't know if it helps, but I see that I also have: set openmode active in my ppp.conf file, so typing in addition to the above two lines may solve your problem. -Ben -- Benjamin Lewis - blewis@vet.purdue.edu
