Lately, I've been getting a strange error with pppd:
Apr 11 05:05:25 stoned diald[160]: Running pppd (pid = 1103).
Apr 11 05:05:25 stoned pppd[1103]: pppd 2.2.0 started by root, uid 0
Apr 11 05:05:25 stoned pppd[1103]: Using interface ppp0
Apr 11 05:05:25 stoned pppd[1103]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/cua3
Apr 11 05:05:29 stoned pppd[1103]: Serial line is looped back.
Apr 11 05:05:29 stoned pppd[1103]: Connection terminated.
Apr 11 05:05:29 stoned pppd[1103]: Exit.
A "normal" run looks like this:
Apr 11 05:06:13 stoned diald[160]: Running pppd (pid = 1126).
Apr 11 05:06:13 stoned pppd[1126]: pppd 2.2.0 started by root, uid 0
Apr 11 05:06:13 stoned pppd[1126]: Using interface ppp0
Apr 11 05:06:13 stoned pppd[1126]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/cua3
Apr 11 05:06:16 stoned pppd[1126]: local IP address 205.150.102.200
Apr 11 05:06:16 stoned pppd[1126]: remote IP address 205.150.102.1
Does anyone have any idea what "serial line is looped back." means? Is this
a problem on my end or the remote end? Nothing changes between the two
tries above, they're only about 30 seconds apart, so I can't figure out what
could be wrong.
Using:
Linux 1.3.86
pppd 2.2.0fBETA5 (or whatever the latest one is)
diald 0.14
Any suggestions / help appreciated.
