A possible cause for this is that the peer gave up the connection (hung up the modem) without sending the LCP terminate request and waiting for a reply. PPP implementations are supposed to do this to gracefully take down a link, but maybe the implementation on your peer isn't behaving properly. I can't really tell because you cut out the messages immediately preceding the nasty one you're complaining of so it's hard to tell. Maybe on the other hand your pppd sent a terminate request but never received the terminate ACK before the other end dropped the line. As long as the connection goes down when you want it to I wouldn't worry about it. -- Jens B.
