Are you able to resolve anything else? For example, can you ping you ISP's
webserver? Can you ping the microsoft site, slashdot or freshmeat?
When kppp dies, does your modem stay online or does it drop the carrier -
should be easy to tell by looking at the lights, seeing as it's an external
modem.
Does kppp write anything to its log when it crashes? If so, post the
relevant bit.

OK, Kppp (LM8) sees my Modem Blaster External, dials out to my ISP.
most of
the time Kpppd crashes somehow (no connection timer) but is still
"running"
when I look for it with $ top.
I try killing the processes, but they won't die.
when Kpppd doesn't crash and I get the timer, etc, I'm unable to
resolve web
pages.
so, If Kppp is broken, what will fix it, and if this is a generic
linux
problem and not an ISP issue, how do I fix it?
much thanks
