You need to talk to your ISP and ask them why their ppp server died (you'll probably need to get them to enable some logging at their end before connecting). The only thing you can do from your side is ``enable lqr'' so that ppp knows when this has happened and hangs up or redials based on your ``set redial'' command. You can do other things like enabling async logging and looking for hdlc errors, but I'd bet you'll find that traffic is going out, but nothing's coming back ! You could also try ``disable vj'' and ``deny vj'', but I suspect it won't make a difference. > Thanks. > Nicholas Murphy > nicholas@deltanet.com -- Brian , , Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour....
