My first question is how can i reduce the timeout variable for when this error occurs i.e no packets are recieved.
Second here is a copy of ifconfig ppp0 while the link is up notice how all the errors are on RX does this imply that the fault is with the ISP or is this normal.
ppp0 Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol
inet addr:196.22.188.159 P-t-P:196.22.160.104 Mask:255.255.255.255
UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:8440 errors:261 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:261
TX packets:7330 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:10
Any help / suggestions are very welcome
Thanks
Regards
