In my experience with GPRS style modems, LCP echo continues to occur, because it is just the modem firmware responding. The LCP echo latency is very small, consistent with this. So LCP echo loss may not occur, and the PPP connection may remain up. -- James Cameron http://ftp.hp.com.au/sigs/jc/ -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ppp" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
