by Hi,
I just got my isdn line installed and have spent the last several days
getting my ppp over isdn running. I have a 3com Impact IQ modem. here
is what I found. pppd 2.3.3 does not run in multi link mode. It
runs fine in single link mode (i.e. 1 64K channel). I have two
ISP's and both failed to yeild 128K connections when using
pppd 2.3.3. I tried both 2.0.33 and 2.1.88 kernels. When I installed
pppd 2.2.0f, the multilink came up correctly, but I have a problem
with my PAP. It seems like the 'name' parameter to pppd is not
properly recoginzied and I had to do some dancing around in my
startup scripts in order to get PAP working. The 'name' parameter
to pppd 2.3.3 seemed to work ok and I could have multiple entries
in my /etc/ppp/pap-secrets file.
In anycase, has anyone else had this type of trouble? I would like to
run the 2.1.X kernel, but now I'm bound do the 2.0.33 kernel since
pppd 2.2.0 will not run on the 2.1.X kernel. I will try and
get this message off to the pppd authors so that we can get
pppd 2.3.3 to work properly with multilink.
Steve.
