Hello,

I've just installed PPP on a DEC 3000/400 (OSF/1 3.2) and on a
AlphaStation 400 4/233. It's ppp-2.2b1. The two machines are connected by
a dialup line (I'm using /dev/tty00 on the 3000, and /dev/tty01 on the 400).
I can setup a connection, but as soon as I try to use the connection, an
error message is written to daemon.log bythe syslogd. The messages are as
follows (cut and paste!):

Jun 23 21:58:20 baerli pppd[555]: pppd 2.2.0 started by rosenth, uid 101
Jun 23 21:58:20 baerli pppd[555]: Using interface ppp0
Jun 23 21:58:20 baerli pppd[555]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/tty01

Jun 23 21:58:20 baerli pppd[555]: remote IP address 131.152.105.3
Jun 23 21:58:20 baerli pppd[555]: Setting interface mask to 255.255.255.0

Jun 23 21:58:40 baerli pppd[555]: demuxprotrej: Unrecognized Protocol-Reject for protocol 0x45
Jun 23 21:58:41 baerli pppd[555]: demuxprotrej: Unrecognized Protocol-Reject for protocol 0x8c
Jun 23 21:58:42 baerli pppd[555]: demuxprotrej: Unrecognized Protocol-Reject for protocol 0x8b
Jun 23 21:58:42 baerli pppd[555]: demuxprotrej: Unrecognized Protocol-Reject for protocol 0x8c
Jun 23 21:58:56 baerli pppd[555]: Terminating on signal 15.
Jun 23 21:58:57 baerli pppd[555]: Connection terminated.
Jun 23 21:58:57 baerli pppd[555]: Exit.

The Error "demuxprotrej" is produced as soon as I try to use the connection
by a ping from 131.152.105.4 to 131.152.105.3. Then I just kill the pppd's on
131.152.105.4, I can again start up kermit and are immediatley back in my
remote account. Does anyone have an idea what happens, and how to get a
working PPP connection between to Alphas with OSF/1 ??

Thanks for any hint,
