We do like to know about such things, but I don't see how we have any hope of actually doing anything about this without a lot more debugging information. It's sort of like calling up tech support and saying "my computer doesn't work." They ask "what do you mean? how?" and you answer "I don't know, it just doesn't work. Thought you guys would want to know, that's all." Things can only go rapidly downhill from there, you dig? That's why I asked you to try out userland ppp first so that we could at least narrow down the behavior to pppd or not. That's the first level of coarse adjustment, lacking much detail about the actual failure with pppd. We certainly can't afford to go out and buy a Bay Networks device, so I'm genuinely puzzled as to what you expected us to accomplish with so little information. :-( Jordan
