[ale] PPP Problems

[Michael B Golden]

	Okay, I had setup PPP on Slackware with the pppsetup and find the
netconf tool does not create scripts, and thus doesn't suit my purpose.
Therefore I have a few problems. I copied the scripts over to RedHat and
tried to use them. It actually starts dialing when I tell it to instead
of a 3 minute delay, but it doesn't work. It gets in but has a problem I
cannot interpret. Today it did something else, which I feel is a problem
on the server end and should change, but I'm not sure.

Here is the first error I got:
Jun  3 18:11:03 localhost pppd[402]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/cua3
Jun  3 18:11:10 localhost pppd[402]: Unsupported protocol (0x8029)
received
Jun  3 18:11:11 localhost pppd[402]: Received bad configure-nak/rej:  02
06 00 2d 0f 00 03 06 d1 c3 2c d5
Jun  3 18:11:14 localhost pppd[402]: local  IP address 209.195.44.213
Jun  3 18:11:14 localhost pppd[402]: remote IP address 209.195.44.215

The errors I got today is:
Jun 19 12:57:01 darkstar pppd[356]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/cua3
Jun 19 12:57:31 darkstar pppd[356]: LCP: timeout sending Config-Requests

And it just hangs there.

Does anyone know what these mean, and how I can fix them? 
Also, if anyone could tell me the basics of writing my own ppp-on and
ppp-off scripts, I would appreciate it and the ones Slackware set up are
bloated. I'm not sure if it is PAP, CHAP, or MS-CHAP. I just tried each
in pppsetup in Slackware and one of them worked, but I'm not sure which.
It is connecting through a Macintosh computer, but I'm not sure if that
helps or not.

Thanks in advance.
