Hi, I am running the latest development test kernel -- 2.3.99-pre4-4 and pppd 2.3.11 with VJ Compression and PPP Deflate enabled. When I load http://www.amazon.com in Netscape Communicator 4.7, I get the first 19KB to 26KB of data and then the connection stalls. The weird thing is that if I click on a link on the partially rendered page, pages other that the home page are displayed fine. ) 14:23:12.891096 ppp0 < www.amazon.com.www > term3-068.speakeasy.net.33039: F 172:172(0) ack 610 win 33580 (DF) 14:23:12.891197 ppp0 > term3-068.speakeasy.net.33039 > www.amazon.com.www: . 610:610(0) ack 173 win 32524 (DF) 14:23:12.892120 ppp0 > term3-068.speakeasy.net.33039 > www.amazon.com.www: F 610:610(0) ack 173 win 32524 (DF) 14:23:12.931094 ppp0 < www.amazon.com.www > term3-068.speakeasy.net.33038: . 173:173(0) ack 622 win 33580 (DF) 14:23:13.021085 ppp0 < www.amazon.com.www > term3-068.speakeasy.net.33039: . 173:173(0) ack 611 win 33580 (DF) 14:23:18.291092 ppp0 > term3-068.speakeasy.net.33032 > www.amazon.com.www: F 0:0(0) ack 1 win 32120 (DF) 14:23:18.411091 ppp0 < www.amazon.com.www > term3-068.speakeasy.net.33032: . 2921:2921(0) ack 1 win 33580 (DF) I would suspect that there was a problem with pppd handling some server redirection, but if I follow a link from a page other than the home page back to Amazon's home page, I still get the stall. Here is a snippet of tcpdump output that contains the point of failure when attempting to load http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/subst/home/home.html: 14:25:47.681116 ppp0 < www.amazon.com.www > term3-068.speakeasy.net.33054: . 14601:16061(1460) ack 572 win 33580 (DF) 14:25:47.681272 ppp0 > term3-068.speakeasy.net.33054 > www.amazon.com.www: . 572:572(0) ack 16061 win 32120 (DF) 14:25:48.291082 ppp0 < cobalt.speakeasy.org.domain > term3-068.speakeasy.net.32788: 39827* 1/2/2 PTR 208-216-183-189.amazon.com.

Obviously, most other PPP implementations are handling whatever the Amazon servers are doing gracefully.
