-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Salut Keith, did you try to have a line debug in your /etc/ppp/options. Then pppd should produce some lines in your syslog (i.e. /var/log/messages commonly). It documents the negotiation at the start of the session. Maybe you find answers there in. But if you are in bad-luck, your provider has a buggy ppp-implementation. I had this problem with a provider that is half the way between us. Might this mtu be a bit too big?
