Hi,

I'm using 'ppp -auto isp.site' on my machine.  I've noticed that this daemon
is dying every now and then and I'm not sure why.  To get ppp going again,
I have to 'su' up to root and issue: 'ppp -auto isp.site'.

I've found the following in /var/log/ppp.log:

    RecvEchoRep: his magic is wrong! expect: 2207bb9b got: 2207bb40
    RecvEchoRep: his magic is wrong! expect: 2207bb9b got: 2207bb40
    RecvEchoRep: his magic is wrong! expect: 2207bb9b got: 2261db40
    RecvEchoRep: his magic is wrong! expect: 2207bb9b got: 2261db40
    RecvEchoRep: his magic is wrong! expect: 2207bb9b got: 2207db40

I'm not sure if the above has anything to do with the daemon dying though.
Anyone have any ideas?

thanks
