This time, it behaves correctly and removes the > [13] from the REQ. This is gettin funnier all the time. Copied the ppp program from the -stable machine and tried it on the -current machine. The ppp-stable behaved exactly the same as ppp-current. Either it is something fundamentally wrong in the kernel/tun driver (i don't believe it) or i get connected to two different ascend routers. The -current machine dials from a normal analog phoneline. The -stable is connected to a company exchange that is connected with a primary ISDN trunk. I have sent a partial trace and some questions to my ISP. More to come and thanks for the help /Johan > > I'd examine this with whoever controls (and hopefully understands) > the peer.
