Hi.  Anyone out there know anything about BPALogin?

It is a login client for Bigpond Australia cable that uses a heartbeat
to keep the connection up.  I connect ok but ehn get disconnected
because the heartbeat is not being accepted.  Can anyone give me a clue
what might be happening?

These are extracts from my daemon log showing a successful connection,
disconnection and reconnection.

This looks pretty straight forward to me in that the messages seem to
indicate the client doesn't like something about the heartbeat that the
server is sending, so its not accepting it.

Is there anything I can do from my end to fix that or is it a server
side problem?

If anyone knows anything about BPAlogin, I would be very pleased to hear
from you.

Thanks.
