Is this a mail message ? Maybe your ISPs MDA only does up to 64k messages.

Ppp doesn't understand NetBIOS, so it rejects it. > btw, is this version of ppp different than the current version on 3.0? Nope. It's the same with a couple of auto-hacks. Essentially, I have a script on freefall that modifies the -current ppp/pppctl/libalias/libutil code so that it builds on 2.1.5 and up. When I make a significant change, I run my script and it builds the archive. > Maybe it is my ISP <?> It may reject messages >64k, but It's unlikely to drop the line on you. Try setting your logging with set log phase chat connect command lcp ccp ipcp tun and see if anything interesting is produced in the log. If you just see a "Disconnected", then you ISP is hanging up on you. I'd have a moan at them if that's the case. > Tom -- Brian <brian@Awfulhak.org>, <brian@FreeBSD.org>, <bri@OpenBSD.org> <http://www.Awfulhak.org>; Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour....
