Something exciting happens, ppp logs on, establishes the link and eventually exciting things stop happening and it drops the link. This is what we _DO_ want. The problem however is (I think!) that LcpLayerDown() doesn't call StopLqr(). 50 seconds later (1 LQR / 10 secs, 5 without response = timeout) ppp gives up and exits. Some time later, something exciting happens, but it doesn't stay exciting for very long 'cos ppp isn't playing any more. I've tried sticking the line StopLqr( LQM_LQR ); into LcpLayerDown() after the StopAllTimers line. It seems to make ppp happy. -- Brian <brian@awfulhak.demon.co.uk> Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour....
