PPP problems
 

Whenever I connect through KPPP ,the modem just hangs(gives the error code 16) just before starting pppd.Anything wrong?

I'm not sure....wvdial did this with me before my last update. using "pon" instead worked...I didn't immerse myself into this problem :)

Just a follow up.
Using Pon instead of KPPP/gppp/wvdial solved the problem.I have another question,now since I am using pon ,what should I do to find how long a interface (say ppp0) has been up.

Just another follow up.
To resolve the time since when the interface started,I found a way(and of course there are many).I
will describe what I did.I use usepeerdns as ppp option.That would mean that ppp would modify the /etc/ppp/resolve.conf file at the time of the connection.So,one way could be to check the timestamp on the file.Now ,a simple shell script could return the time since when the interface is up.
