The "peer" here refers to the serial modem or the remote server? pppd succeeds when I use a modem from a different brand, with the same SIM and with 'noaccomp' and 'nopcomp' -- 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
