The information you get from ifconfig -- the count of input errors -- is essentially all that the driver knows. It knows that it's getting bad frames, but it can't really know _why_ they're bad. That takes a human. (It'd be possible to report some more details about edge cases here, and some of the implementations do just that, but low-level problems that drop hunks of data are, I think, inherently hard for a PPP driver to diagnose on its own.) -- James Carlson 42.703N 71.076W <carlsonj@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> -- 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
