Hi,
Sorry for the delay....
As you can see from your log, ppp reports several SendTerminateReq
lines after the close. If you want to make it immediate, use ``down'',
not ``close''. This is considered impolite :-I
Answer 1:
Enabling async logging should show that we're sending traffic out and
receiving nothing back. If you can get a description from your ISP
of what their ppp implementation has a problem with, I'd be happy to
help further, but without this, my hands are tied :-(
Of course if any of the above assertions are wrong, please speak up
and I may be able to help :)
Answer 2:
Does ``set accmap 000a0000'' help ? If it did, that'd be one for the
books :-)
