I get a connection, but after a few seconds, pppd reports the following error message and drops the connection: pppd[262]: ioctl(SIOCSIFMTU): Invalid argument It seems like a problem setting the MTU on the ppp0 interface, but how do I fix it? Here is my options file: crtscts lock modem connect "chat -v /etc/ppp/igs.chat" 198.53.155.250:198.53.155.3 defaultroute debug kdebug 3 -all The -all was necessary to get any connection at all. The remote machine is running BSD/OS 2.0 (from BSDI). I would appreciate any help you could provide. Thanks.
