Worse than that, they're not just unsupported protocols (I get one of
these, 0x8029, whenever I connect to a certain ISP) but they should
be flagged as "unrecognisable". PPP protocols are all supposed to be
odd at the end and even in the middle, i.e. XeXo, and many of those
quoted aren't.

The goofy thing is that this only happens with one of two dial-ups that I use.  
The one
that is giving me the messages described almost always works fine w/ Windows ,is
intermitent at best with Linux (although it didn't used to be), and is to a 56K 
modem
pool, while my other connection has always worked fine w/ Windows & Linux and 
is to a
33.6K modem pool.

Some kinda error I'd guess. I took a look at the assigned numbers RFC and the 
only one
of those defined is 0x7f and its:

007freserved (compression inefficient)[RFC1662]

I'm thinking there must've been some sort of corruption of the data. This 
shouldn't
happen though since the ppp frames FCS should've discarded any corrupted frame 
which
is received. Very odd.

Unsupported protocols??

1999-05-21 Thread Sean
I was glancing at tail /var/log/messages, and noticed the following:

pppd[1007]: Unsupported protocol (0x7f) received
pppd[1007]: Unsupported protocol  (0x88fc) received
pppd[1007]: Unsupported protocol (0x67ec) received
pppd[1007]: Unsupported protocol (0x7432) received
pppd[1007]: Unsupported protocol (0x4822) received
pppd[1007]: Unsupported protocol (0xfe39) received
pppd[1007]: Unsupported protocol (0x8c73) received
pppd[1007]: Protocol-Reject for unsupported protocol 0x61
pppd[1007]: Unsupported protocol (0x848c) received
pppd[1007]: Unsupported protocol (0xbacd) received

etc, etc, etc

Does anybody know what this stuff means?
