ppp broken, log says: "Receive serial link is not 8-bit clean"
Hello,
Upon returning home from a trip, my slink box is no longer able to connect
to my
ISP. Up until the time I left, it had been working fine. I was even able
to
telnet (ssh) into the system for the first few days I was away.
Fortunately/unfortunately, my win95 system is able to connect as before,
with no
problem.
Here is a snippet from /var/log/ppp.log:

Sep 29 19:12:48 champagne pppd[27652]: Hangup (SIGHUP)
Sep 29 19:12:48 champagne pppd[27652]: Exit.
My ISP has me connect through a Compuserve access number because they have
none
of their own in my local calling area. I suspect that something has changed
at
the Compuserve end of the line while I was away, and that this thing is
something
that MS DUN can deal with automatically, but which must be configured
manually in
linux.
I further suspect that some change was made in the parity setting, as
indicated
by /var/log/ppp.log.
Which file must I edit in order to get ppp to work with even parity? Is
this some
thing that can be fixed by editing my modems initialization string, or must
I edit
some other configuration file? Please enlighten me.
Thanks.
P.S. Please cc: me as I'm a digest subscriber.
