I will try this. I'll also try killing the /etc/ppp/options in SuSE
since the one in COL LTP is doing nothing. I can easily fix it if it
screws up.

You MUST set your "line speed" to "one more" than your "connection speed".
Period. How much 'more' is immaterial. If you fail to do so, you will never,

You might want to setup separate logging for pppd to see exactly what

Hi,
Once you run /sbin/ifconfig and find the MTU setting,
perhaps you might try adjusting it as it is probably
set to 1500 by default. This setting sometimes does
not suit some isp's. I run SuSE 7.1 and found kppp/
kinternet etc to be a bit funny so I just use
wvdial now.
