Package: ppp
Version: 2.4.4rel-8

Computer fails to respond to mouse, keyboard, and even to
<Ctrl><Alt><Del> when attempting to download a web page e.g.
http://www.uk.debian.org/ .

I am trying to get Etch to run in an old computer, which has about 361
Mega-bytes of SDRAM.

It uses an external modem to dial into an ISP.
It uses a simple shel script which calls pon, I attach a copy of the
shell script, and a copy of the called file.

The bugs appears when that ISP is Entanet using dial in number 0845
6040104.
It seem to dial in successfully,
I attach a copy of the ppp dialogue.
However, then I tried to use Epiphany to download a web page e.g.
http://www.uk.debian.org/ .
The system downloaded some of the page, and displayed as much as would
fit in the window.
The computer then did not respond to any of the controls -- keyboard,
mouse.
It just froze, or locked-up.
Eventually the "OH" light on the modem went out, I took this as my cue
to push the power switch, and hold it in, till it switched off the
power.

I tried several times with variations.
first using Iceweasel;
then Iceweasel and squid;
then wget.
Iceweasel, with or without squid, caused the computer to lock up.
Wget sometimes caused it to lock up.

Downloading a smaller webpage instead usually worked, except that the
pictures did not get displayed.


Workaround;
I tried using various different ISPs,  system worked with all of these
others.

Knoppix version 5.1.1 live CD, running in the same hardware works, even
on the Entanet dial up line, but slowly.

versions;
I attach a list of versions of some of the packages in my system.
It is Etch as installed plus a few Etch packages which were not
installed as default.
These were all updated by aptitude update, and then aptitude upgrade on
20 December 2008.

I attach output from reportbug, which seems to contain at least one
error (from address).

Thank you very much for providing ppp.

Best regards

Richard Betham
