A ``set log command phase lcp ipcp ccp chat'' log would be nice :-) Also, a ``show mem'' and a ``show modem'' output might be useful (you'll need to create a diagnostic socket (``set server ...'') or run it interactively). Also, do things go back to normal by killing & restarting ppp ? What does ``ps al'' say ? > Thank you, > Matthew Hagerty -- Brian Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour !
