I have tested the watchdog patch and the one from Duncan Sands.

Neither make any difference to my connection problems - neither better

Interestingly however, on my system the watchdog timer never seems to
be tripped so I need to look more into that but I haven't had time.

alias char-major-108 ppp_generic
alias tty-ldisk-14 ppp_synctty
alias tty-ldisk-13 n_hdlc

the same message

 No idea sorry, I use the alcaudsl.sys file though that came with the bt
 cd, you might want to try that. 

The .sys file initializes almost immediately. Perhaps there's a problem 
with run_modem and the .o file. So, for new users I recomend the .sys 
option.

2) the ppp scripts aren't automaticaly updating my gateway
 
 
 Do you still get the 'cant override default route' message ?

OK - this works now. Thanks.

3) how do I load up the adsl connectin on boot automaticaly?
 
 -rw-r--r--1 1000 1000  741 Jun  1 00:34 speedtouch.conf
 -rwxr-xr-x1 1000 1000 9129 Jun  1 00:34 speedtouch.sh
 # chkconfig --add speedtouch.sh

Great. Once I had very carefuly filled out all the options in the config 
file, I got it to work. I am now dialed in on boot, and ppp-up.local 
symlinks the DNS info automatically. How cool is that! I've been playing 
with iptables, also got dhcpd and named to work (after a fassion), and 
all the PCs in the house seem to just work.

Thanks to everyone who helped.

I don't know what is wrong - maybe n_hdlc isn't found. Have you tried 
depmod -a?

However, if you add -a to the pppoa3 commandline then you don't need
the n_hdlc module so if the module had got corrupted or won't load
you can at least get onto the net.

(I get a more reliable connection with the -a option and it doesn't
seem to up the load on the box measurably but I also have a buggy
usb chipset and a patched(hacked) pppoa3 so my results should be
taken with a pinch of salt :-)

Regards,

Tim.

Just spotted the problem - ldisc - not ldisk!
