<DIV>From the shell in su, I start the daemon <EM>with start-adsl</EM> and get
the following:</DIV>
<DIV><EM></EM> </DIV>
<DIV>sent [LCP ConfRej id=0x?? <auth chap MD5>]</DIV>
<DIV>rcvd [LCP Confreq id=0x?? <auth chap MD5><magic
0xd????????>]</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Which scrolls for a while then :</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>rcvd [LCP TermReq id=0x??]</DIV>
<DIV>sent [LCP TermAck id=0x??]</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Then carries on with the above sent rcvd [LCP etc.
etc.]</DIV>
<DIV>(where ?? is a set of numbers or letters, hex I assume, all are
sequentional in each scroll)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>All this happens in a continous loop? I know my ISP uses pap as
opposed to chap for authentication purposes. I also know the vpi & vci
no's are correct.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Has anyone come across this before as it has me totally baffled, the
man pages and google/linux has shed no light on the prob.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>All or any help deeply appreciated.</DIV>
