Sorry it has taken me forever to reply but I have been away from my email for quite a while. You are right - noone had any idea what to do to solve my problem - I did struggle with it for a bit more, but then I decided to try mandrake on a small 500mb partition, which did connect (With alcatel closed source drivers) but disconnected after anything between 2 minutes and 5 hours. Then I tried to do a proper install of mandrake, but about this time my old frankenstein pc decided to reboot randomly every 10 minutes so I gave up completely and went on holiday. I will have another go soon though. I cant find you original email now, but I seem to remember that our problems weren't that similar after all. My problem was that ppp2a never received anything back from the adsl modem when sending configuration requests, even thought the lower layer ppp layers initialized without problems. However my understanding of ppp is limited, and I could be horribly wrong. I seem to remember that you did include the log from ppp2a at all, but I cannot find the email in the archive, so I cannot confirm it. Feel free to send me your logs again and I'll have a look. Yours sincerly. -- Gunnar AAstrand Grimnes [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.csd.abdn.ac.uk/~ggrimnes 7 John Knox Court Mounthooly Aberdeen AB24 3LF Liste de diffusion modem ALCATEL SpeedTouch USB Pour se désinscrire : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe
