Hiya,

We're experiencing a bizarre problem with pppd in 2.2.8 (I think the
version of pppd is 2.3.5?):

ppp links that have been established for some time, usually more than a
couple hours and often days, and the link is idle, results in
ping/traceroute times of 8-11 seconds. The problem does not appear
confined to one machine either, with two of our machines displaying the
problem. This must reduce the likelyhood of it being a hardware problem.

The ppp links are across modems, and in the case of one machine, permanent
links/Members.

Has anyone else noticed this? Is it possible to try going back a
couple version(s) of pppd? And if so, where can I get a copy from?

TIA.

Regards,

d.
