For the first time I'm having difficulty establishing Linux ppp connections, with a recently opened ISP account. pppconfig has done well enough on my numerous previous setups, with only an occasional script tweak, that I've never had to debug Linux ppp connections before. If I keep trying (without changing my config) I eventually get a good connection, ~1 in 4 times.
kernel 2.0.36 pppd version 2.3 patch level 5 (I have also tried kernel 2.2.10 pppd 2.3.8; in that case, only ~1 in 10 attempts is successful.)
