I have no idea - you've given no details and haven't determined if the local or remote end is dying. As I've said on numerous occasions, there is probably a bug in ppp as this this problem has been mentioned by more than one person in the past (about 10 in fact), but in all cases, ppp seems to remain alive and the remote end stops responding. Ppp must be doing something unexpected to the remote implementation, but without any information, I can do nothing. All I can suggest is that you enable async logging to determine if ppp is still alive and then hassle your ISP. > On Tue, 26 Jan 1999, Brian Somers wrote: > > > > hello, > > > I am using ppp to connect to my isp but after some time > > > I lose the connection, I am connected but I am not able to > > > ping any machine on the other side. when I disconnect the > > > phone line and reconnect then the modem closes the line and > > > reconnects to my isp but after some time ppp crashes again > > > I do not know what is the problem, in the logs there is only > > > one line about hdlc error (fcs or something like that) > > > what should I do? > > > > Enable something like async logging and see if ppp has ``crashed'' or > > if the other side has stopped responding.
