I've recently checked the snip that I actually sent and it turns out it's not a good example of what's actually happening. That debugging stuff fills several screenfuls in less than a second. generally a session of screen filling debug output will end in something like rcvd protreject and stuff like that. i've seen the protreject elsewhere and it hasn't seemed to be a problem before (all though i would like to know what it is) but i've never gotten this much junk come up on my logs before. it seems to be creating excessive traffic that lags the connection and eventually kills it. i've ceased all user traffic that i'm aware of to check if it still continues and it does. another interesting thing is it seems to kill the connection after about 4 hours. this is a ppp connection which i've proven to be permanent and shouldn't be killed by the isp. it's set to dial on demand (using the demand option for pppd) but without the idle option specified.
is that seemingly excessive junk what's causing the connections to die as i suspect or is it something else i may be overlooking? thanks from da Bobstopper
