I had this problem, where my ISP changed hardware and my dedicated ppp connection would hang up after three minutes. I could see in the log that it had hung up because of too many lost packets or something. Durring the three minutes everything worked OK. I fixed it by adding these lines to my config file: disable lqr deny lqr I don't really know what these mean, but I was desparate, and it fixed the problem so why complain? -John jrowland@bluecollar.com
