[newbie] pppd keeps dieing!

2003-01-19 Thread Andrew Scotchmer
Hi all,

Got a problem getting onto the internet.

After entering the relevant account details and connecting to my ISP after
about 30 secs I get the error message that says the pppd has died
unexpectedly.

Any help would be nice.

Andrew

Have you tried increasing the time-out?  I seem to remember that I had to 
increase it to maximum to avoid this.

My /etc/ppp/options are below:

Most important line is noauth for such problems, don't ask why, try 
bud dry.

Best

asyncmap 0
passive
persist
proxyarp
noauth
domain noway.edu.tr
netmask 255.0.0.0

I've increased the time out so much that I sleep on the lounge more
often than not...
