As I said,, guess I'm just special.. lol..
Somewhere in here:
Jan 27 11:50:16 (none) kernel: ppp_tty_ioctl: set flags to 10000
Jan 27 11:50:16 (none) kernel: ppp_tty_ioctl: set flags to 10000
Jan 27 11:50:16 (none) kernel: Using interface ppp0
Jan 27 11:50:16 (none) kernel: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/ttyS3
Jan 27 11:50:16 (none) kernel: ppp_tty_ioctl: set xasyncmap
Jan 27 11:50:16 (none) kernel: ppp_tty_ioctl: set xmit asyncmap ffffffff
Jan 27 11:50:16 (none) kernel: ppp_tty_ioctl: set flags to 10000
Jan 27 11:50:16 (none) kernel: ppp_tty_ioctl: set mru to 5dc
Jan 27 11:50:16 (none) kernel: ppp_tty_ioctl: set rcv asyncmap ffffffff
makes the difference between working and not. I'm wondering if it's that the ppp0 interface isn't quite up yet at 4 seconds where it is at 5.. Why others using serial ppp aren't having problems I certainly can't answer.. other than as I said.. lol
Thanks again Peter for all you help.
Cheers,
