Hi.. I'm having major problems connecting to my isp with iijppp..
Basically, i log in, start ppp, and almost nothing works.
I can do DNS and ping, but anytime I try to telnet it'll resolve he name,
connect, but then not receive anything.  FTP usually lets me log into the
other system, but nothing after that.  Here' what I'm typing..:

ppp
set device /dev/cuaa1
set speed 38400 (I've also tried 19200)
term
(i login, and it starts ppp automatically)
delete ALL
add 0 0 HISADDR

Now, i ping a remote host, and it works fine.. I try telneting, and I get:
telnet usr4.primenet.com
Trying 129.12.43.1 (that's not the IP, i can't remember the real one)
Connected to 129.12.43.1
Escape character is '^]'.

and it just pauses.  If i now switch back to the virtual console with
ppp loaded, and type "show log," i get a TON of entries looking similar to:
05-25 23:01:30 [788] HDLC errors -> FCS: 14 ADDR: 0 COMD: 0 PROTO: 0

I did a stty -f /dev/cuaa1, and ctsrts was enabled, and I do have
16550A ports.. I've also tried disabling lqr and pred1.  PPP works fine
in Linux and Windows 95 on this same computer..

thanks
