Hi,
I got a group of embedded devices (running Linux) repeatedly connecting to an ISP over a ordinary analog PPP connection.
Sometimes (every third connection time) the pppd authentication breaks up with a chap error. Here are the according log lines:
Code:

Note: Username (Sunrise) and password (freesurf) aren't confidential (public swiss ISP, payment by line billing) and always the same -> Therefore the reason for this can't be any mistyped auth data.
Could anybody help me in interpreting these log lines (CHAP Failure id=0x3 etc.)? I'm tending to accuse the ISP for this auth failures. Am I right?
Are there any settings in pppd which provoke a retry of the chap authentication process ?
thanks for any suggestions.
