I am dialing my service provider with the command "ppp -ddial -alias provider" and it disconnects after 3 minutes. I looked at the ppp.tun0.log and found that it said something about OSLinkup being down. Says it lost too many ECHO packets. Since that happens, it Terminates with a signal 15, then redials. Long downloads are impossible. Any settings in my config files I need to check to keep that from trying to contact that host? It works just fine otherwise. I had it working flawless at one time, but I rebuilt, and now it won't. Any info would be appreciated. Anthony Yandell, MIS User Support Chesapeake Energy Corp. 6112 N. Western OKC, OK 73118
