Hi ppl,

I am experiencing a problem with the PPP setup
connecting to my (dial-up) service/connection
provider (btinternet). It has worked fine for
years but recently the internet connection under
Linux fails (Windows 98 still functions).

It does actually connect but I don't receive
any packets - well an ifconfig shows the ppp
device as having received those packets but
most of them are getting a "frame" error.
I wonder if it has something to do with
the MRU, presently I don't understand what
a frame error is.

Well I would appreciate any help, I have
started reading RFC1661 on PPP and eventually
maybe work out what is going on but it would
be great if someone with more experience
could advise me.

As I said Windows 98 works fine so I ran
the PPP log and checked it but it only
provides a hex dump of received negociations
so I don't know the full conversation
I'm tempted to decode the binary but it
takes time!

I suppose BT/Yahoo changed something in the
PPP setup and it just happens that 98
is happy with it and Linux is not

bestwishesfrom
