Other than recognising it comes from ppp which is the internet connection deamon i am not able to help you much there either. That would definately be the cause of it though. It seems to be dumping the contents of the buffers it talks about to the log. This is deffinately an error of some type. I hope someone else here has seen this before. If there is no helpful reply over the next couple of days take it to the expert list. -- Michael
