Sometimes the pppd keeps hold of the tty and if i call the modem again i get no login prompt until i kill the running pppd process, The biggest problem seems to be that i am using proxy arp in my ppp/options file and it is not deleting the arp entry when the user disconnects so the next connection i get a message in syslog 'ioctl(SIOCAIFADDR): Address already exists' which i assume (probably wrongly) is telling me that there is already an arp entry for this machine ????? Im not sure about this though as when I get this message, I cannot connect to anything with ppp even the machine that is the dial-in host.(probably not arp entry then ????) Any ideas Thanks phil phil@zipmail.co.uk
