Worse than that, they're not just unsupported protocols (I get one of these, 0x8029, whenever I connect to a certain ISP) but they should be flagged as "unrecognisable". PPP protocols are all supposed to be odd at the end and even in the middle, i.e. XeXo, and many of those quoted aren't. > Sean wrote: > > > I was glancing at tail /var/log/messages, and noticed the following: > > > > pppd[1007]: Unsupported protocol (0x7f) received > > pppd[1007]: Unsupported protocol (0x88fc) received > > pppd[1007]: Unsupported protocol (0x67ec) received > > pppd[1007]: Unsupported protocol (0x7432) received > > pppd[1007]: Unsupported protocol (0x4822) received > > pppd[1007]: Unsupported protocol (0xfe39) received > > pppd[1007]: Unsupported protocol (0x8c73) received > > pppd[1007]: Protocol-Reject for unsupported protocol 0x61 > > pppd[1007]: Unsupported protocol (0x848c) received > > pppd[1007]: Unsupported protocol (0xbacd) received > > > > etc, etc, etc Cheers, -- Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tel: +44 1908 653 739 Fax: +44 1908 655 151 Snail: David Wright, Earth Science Dept., Milton Keynes, England, MK7 6AA Disclaimer: These addresses are only for reaching me, and do not signify official stationery.
