Last night I tried this solution, and this worked perfect for me. I no longer had to manually add a set mtu/mru line to my ppp.conf file

But..I cvsup'd the latest stable this morning, and now I am back to the same old problem despite the change below. I can no longer connect unless I manually add a set mtu/mru line to the ppp.conf file. This is only a problem because I use more then 1 ISP, and their pop's use different MTU values. So I have to edit my ppp.conf file depending on which ISP I use.

I've finally found a way of getting dial out ppp to connect since my last CVSup of -stable a couple of weeks ago.

I found that the problem was in the sample ppp.conf file, which I had based my ppp.conf file closely on.

I had to change the line: set ifaddr 10.0.0.1/0 10.0.0.2/0 255.255.255.0 0.0.0.0 to: set ifaddr 10.0.0.1/0 00.0.0.0/0 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0

I don't know if it was the change in the netmask or the remote address that did the job but everything seems to work now as it did before.

I hope this will help anyone who had the same problem
