As you can see from your log, ppp reports several SendTerminateReq lines after the close. If you want to make it immediate, use ``down'', not ``close''. This is considered impolite :-I Answer 1: Enabling async logging should show that we're sending traffic out and receiving nothing back. If you can get a description from your ISP of what their ppp implementation has a problem with, I'd be happy to help further, but without this, my hands are tied :-( Of course if any of the above assertions are wrong, please speak up and I may be able to help :) Answer 2: Does ``set accmap 000a0000'' help ? If it did, that'd be one for the books :-) > Hi, > > I've been having a problem with ppp since my 2.2.5 installation and now it > seems worse with my fresh 3.0 install.
