Althow, I can't seem to establish a dialout PPP connection; pppd doesn't negotiate correctly. When someone dials in through one of the ports, the connection is established, but after a while, the computer blocks out completely, and the system must be restarted. With the previous 16450 UARTS, the system didn't crash, and the PPP connections were established corretly. Has anybody ever experienced a similar problem ? I've tried to replace the port card without success. Thanks in advance, Joao.
