ppp loopback



Hi all,

last time I fired up ppp it connected to my ISP, but immediatly hung up. In
/var/log/daemon.log I find:

> Apr  1 21:05:30 zanzy pppd[351]: pppd 2.2.0 started by root, uid 0
> Apr  1 21:05:50 zanzy pppd[351]: Serial connection established.
> Apr  1 21:05:51 zanzy pppd[351]: Using interface ppp0
> Apr  1 21:05:51 zanzy pppd[351]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/modem
> Apr  1 21:05:52 zanzy pppd[351]: Serial line is looped back.
> Apr  1 21:05:52 zanzy pppd[351]: Connection terminated.
> Apr  1 21:05:52 zanzy pppd[351]: Exit.

What does this mean?(*) What can I do to prevent it? I'm using ppp-2.2.0f on a
rather stable debian 1.1. With same hardware, but with old Slackware, it doesn't
happen.
Can somebody help me?

(*) is it a sort of 'Upgrade to ppp-x.y.z' ?
