So, the "Network is down" means something fails at the provider's side? But why it is up and running again when I just restart the pppd? This log is from the pppd-2.4.5. Running the pppd-2.4.4 a message like the "Modem hangup" terminates the pppd, nothing else. Also in this case I just start the pppd again and everything is working again. I'm confused. jbe -- 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
