Hi,

Sorry for the delay....

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 :-)
