| |
Thanks for the help. This worked after I turned off demand dialing. Is there a way to get demand dialing to work? Here is what I got while trying to use demand dialing:
Aug 11 17:54:37 ketchers pppd[2013]: Exit. Aug 11 17:56:40 ketchers pppd[2018]: pppd 2.3.9 started by root, uid 0 Aug 11 17:56:41 ketchers pppd[2018]: Using interface ppp0 Aug 11 17:56:41 ketchers pppd[2018]: ioctl(PPPIOCSASYNCMAP): Bad file descriptor(9)
I went through each option one by one until this went away, and it was demand dialing that is causing it.
