Trying to connect to AT&T's worldnet using Linux kernel 2.0.0 and
ppp-2.2.0f. This configuration works fine with my interramp account
using PAP. I've followed the directions in the instructions at
http://www.toppig.com/wurd/linux.html and according to my debug and
syslog files I am successfully connecting. The netstat and ifconfig
commands show the assigned IP address and gateway info, just like on the
interramp connection.

BUT, a ping to the outside world drops the line almost immediately, and
if I do nothing, the line drops after 60 seconds (exactly). The debug
files shows an LCP termination request received from the peer, followed
by a TermAcq sent.

Anyone else had this problem? How do I keep the connection up?

I am trying to do the same thing (almost as we ?speak?) same results...
I have tried the +chap option, and get a message saying it can't access
the file (?) I've made /etc/ppp/chap-secrets read/executable by the
whole world, (I know, bad plan! I'm trying everything) same shit...
When I do without +chap my /var/log/messages file reports modprobe cant
find net-pf-[2,3,4,5] WFT? I can't find anything about these missing
modules.... Like what makes 'em, what are they,etc.

We'll see, stay in touch, let me know if you figure it out..
