If a person is disconnected (i.e. line noise), the machine hangs up about half the time. The other half, it just stays running, confusing the next person trying to log in. About 1/10th of the time it leaves the tty in an unusable state. my /etc/ppp/options: modem (without this, pppd has no clue how to hang up) -detach (without this, pppd never gets the HUP at all) crtscts proxyarp pppd is just run as the user's shell. Nothing fancy. No PAP/CHAP, etc. If it makes any difference, I'm using a cyclades 16port card and a bunch of USR Courier 288's. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE help me out here. Even a "pppd has a horrible bug in it" will at least let me know to look elsewhere. -- Neal Rigney sysadmin, PERnet Communications, (409)729-4638 neal@mail.pernet.net My opinions are mine, damnit! PERnet can't have them!
