No, but similar experience. In this case, the ISP is very friendly (It's me :-), The Lingston box is PM2E-R or not -R, and the only thing that will authenticate is V120. The V34 dialin script fails to authenticate, and so will the BONDING. I have given up trying to figure it out. The only apparent difference is the phone number. The PM's authenticate with a Radius server. Nothing changed on the PM, or the Radius server. It works for Linux and Lose95, etc. but not FreeBSD-3.0 current. Since I own both sides, I can help diagnose it. My PPP diagnostics abilities are limited, but a qualified party can have all the equipment at their disposal. BTW, I am sure, Alex, it is a configuration error, but which? --- Sincerely Yours, Simon Shapiro Atlas Telecom Senior Architect 14355 SW Allen Blvd., Suite 130 Beaverton OR 97005 Shimon@i-Connect.Net Voice: 503.799.2313
