When I had netcom and mindspring as ISP's I often got the "Receive serial link is not 8-bit clean:" error. After many, many complaints they would fix it. Would work for week or months and then re-appear. They never told me what they had fixed. That was with me using Slackware, SuSe, Debian 1.3, 2.0, 2.1 and 2.2, with the same ppp-up script. Since changing to my current ISP I have not had that problem, at all. It was never a Linux problem. HTH -- What boots up must come down. _______________________________________________________
