ppp problem

ppp problem

[j k]

May be a little out of date but wonder if any one found same problem
in R5.

I erased my June/97 installation and made a clean install of R4-lite
on a powercenter 150. Then I found the ppp doesn't work as well as
before: the machine recieves a lot packets even nothing is being
transfered (it happens on a random base). Using communicator4.05,
which comes with the R4-lite, the machine got frozen very often. Is
this a known problem? Anyway I can get into kernel debug mode to make
a dump? Or if is there  still some way to kill the X-window? (not KDE
but fvwm2. I disabled KDE)

I am not on this mail list so please send email directly to me if you
have any info.


Thanks a lot.

Jun Kong

The kernel is 2.1.24. Actually, if I start ppp as root from console, I
don't see lot packets transfer. If the machine is freshly rebooted and
I login from a regular user's X-window, using 'su -', then problem
will come up. It seems to me the machine sends out packets and then
the packets loop back.

The "Bad checksum" message has nothing to do with X-window.

Thanks

Yes, but kppp messes up the serial handshake quite badly. I don't really
know where the errors are coming from, but you could try a new (2.1.13x or
2.2.0-preX) kernel. At least one source of bad checksum packets was fixed
some time since 2.1.24
