I am having the same problem as Marc is, to clear up our problem i got a
error messages like this:
The pppd daemon died unexpectedly!
Oct 7 18:49:54 localhost pppd[811]: pppd 2.3.11 started by root, uid 0
Oct 7 18:49:54 localhost pppd[811]: Using interface ppp0
Oct 7 18:49:54 localhost pppd[811]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/ttyS3
Oct 7 18:50:24 localhost pppd[811]: LCP: timeout sending Config-Requests
Oct 7 18:50:24 localhost pppd[811]: Connection terminated.
Oct 7 18:50:24 localhost pppd[811]: Receive serial link is not 8-bit clean:
Oct 7 18:50:24 localhost pppd[811]: Problem: all had bit 7 set to 0
Oct 7 18:50:24 localhost pppd[811]: Exit.
If anyone can help us out it would be great, if i could get Linux to connect
to ISP I would get more intrested, as of no i have to download through
windows, and copy to linux :)
