I've been using Kppp for a while (KDE 2.2.1), and have always had problems with its reliability.
My system is Debian potato, kernel 2.4.3-2.4.4 and pppd 2.4.0. Ppp support is modular. I very frequently get "The pppd daemon died unexpectedly!" and "Exit status:16", just after the "Connect 45333/ARQ/V90/LAPM/V42BIS" in the debug window. /var/log/syslog shows the following: Apr 29 12:24:36 venus modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module ppp0 Apr 29 12:24:36 venus pppd[1021]: pppd 2.4.0 started by chris, uid 1000 Apr 29 12:24:36 venus pppd[1021]: Using interface ppp0 Apr 29 12:24:36 venus pppd[1021]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/ttyS1 Apr 29 12:24:38 venus pppd[1021]: Hangup (SIGHUP) Apr 29 12:24:38 venus pppd[1021]: Modem hangup Apr 29 12:24:38 venus pppd[1021]: Connection terminated. Apr 29 12:24:38 venus pppd[1021]: Exit. and /etc/modules.conf containts the following: alias char-major-108 ppp_generic alias /dev/ppp ppp_generic alias tty-ldisc-3 ppp_async alias tty-ldisc-14 ppp_synctty alias ppp-compress-21 bsd_comp alias ppp-compress-24 ppp_deflate alias ppp-compress-26 ppp_deflate alias ppp0 ppp WVdial always dials reliably. Does anybody have any ideas how to make it more reliable? Cheers, -- Chris Howells E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ: 93699029 Web: http://www.chowells.uklinux.net
