[no subject]

Thats all exciting but I haven't really learned anything new except 
what I found in an excellent write up by W.G. Unruh.  He clarified some 
of the messages I am seeing.

The "connect: ppp0  <  - -  >  /dev/ttyS0" message means I have a ppp 
connection between the local and remote ppp hosts/client.  The next 
line I get is "sent   [ LCP  ConfReq  xx=xxxxx]".   This means my PC is 
trying to make the ISP send authentication to me!   And I can't make it 
quit.  An ISP is not going to answer any request like this.  I have 
monkeyed with /etc/ppp/options where all this is kept and I have 
changed the LCP request that is going out to nearly nothing but I can't 
get it to go away.  The ISP is never going to answer any "LCP ConfReq" 
so changing it is nice but I need to kill it.  I have to get past this 
so I can keep the connection up.  Am I way off the path here?  This 
shouldn't be so hard.
