Cheers, Ben. > You might need to activate additional logging facilities in your ppp.conf. I usually log Phase and IPCP, you might need LCP and some other entries. Try All facility if you're desperate, but beware, as it produces huge logs (can fill up your /var filesystem in no time). You can select logging facilities by putting lines like 'set log Phase IPCP LCP' in your default: or xtra: section. Best wishes, Andrew P.
