[SLE] pppd dies constantly...

6 Sep 2000

      Hi,

I am getting constantly disconnected from my ISPs and apparently it's my ppp 
daemon that dies, not the ISPs that terminate the connection. I am wondering 
if the following messages can be the culprit:

Sep  6 13:05:02 friedman pppd[348]: no device specified and stdin is not a tty
Sep  6 14:08:26 friedman pppd[798]: no device specified and stdin is not a tty
Sep  6 14:12:11 friedman pppd[849]: no device specified and stdin is not a tty
Sep  6 14:14:25 friedman pppd[857]: no device specified and stdin is not a tty
Sep  6 14:16:25 friedman pppd[882]: no device specified and stdin is not a tty

Notice that the disconnection does not necessarily occur when I see this 
message. Also, not surprisingly, it's irrelevant whether I use kppp or wvdial 
to establish my connection. It happens in the middle of downloads (so, 
there's activity, no idleness)... My modem is external (Motorola VoiceSURFR 
56k) and I've been using it since May...

Thanks in advance for your suggestions,
