Yes, ppp.log says "terminating on signal ..." Perhaps the key piece of evidence is that everything *used* to work fine until I had to switch to pap-style authorization.
Turn on debugging (pass 'debug' in options or on command line). Do you see a mesage in /var/log/ppp.log which says Terminating on signal %d. ?? I'm wondering if this is more of a timeout problem. -- Jens B. Jorgensen [EMAIL PROTECTED]
