I have been erratic disconnections of ppp0. Sometimes ppp0 will remain active for days at a time; other days, like yesterday, it'll have trouble staying alive for more than several minutes. I could use some expertise on this one. ==== Log excerpt: Jul 30 14:42:41 linux pppd[4202]: No response to 4 echo-requests Jul 30 14:42:41 linux pppd[4202]: Serial link appears to be disconnected. Jul 30 14:42:42 linux modify_resolvconf: restored /etc/ resolv.conf.saved.by.pppd.ppp0 to /etc/resolv.conf Jul 30 14:42:42 linux pppd[4202]: Script /etc/ppp/ip-down finished (pid 10075), status = 0x0 Jul 30 14:42:44 linux pppd[4202]: Connection terminated. ==== I am puzzled by the 'No response to 4 echo-requests' and what might be the ultimate problem. When the connection is up, it works extremely well, as a rule. I have a script running three times per hour which checks to make certain I am still online. My belief is that this really shouldn't be necessary. Any useful info/speculation on why this may be happening will be deeply appreciated. -- ...CH Running SuSE 9 Pro -- ...CH "The more they over-think the plumbing, the easier it is to stop up the drain."
