Hi,

Am using Minicom to dial out to my ISP. After getting connected ,i exit without resetting and go

# pppd /dev/ttyS0 to launch ppp.

However, i get the eroor "LCP config requests timeout, connection terminated."

Apparently, the remote host was launching ppp later by which time, my box had already sent the default number of LCP requests (10 i think) and receiving no answer timed out.

I edited /ppp/options file and added lcp-max-configure = 25 .
However its still not working because now i get, " modem hangup, connection terminated" as the exit message.

( I also waited till the remote host sent the ' ~ ' character before firing up my ppp, with the same result....)

anyone have any ideas?

thanks and regards,

Marcello
