Re: Rebuild Kernel for PPP support.

Good news I've got PPP support in my Kernel, so thanks to those pointers.
But and there's always a but
It connects to the ISP and then thinks for a while and then drops the line.
The ppp log file is here.
...
Jun 14 02:26:57 localhost chat[293]: ^M
Jun 14 02:26:57 localhost chat[293]: ^M
Jun 14 02:26:57 localhost chat[293]: login:
Jun 14 02:26:57 localhost chat[293]: -- got it
Jun 14 02:26:57 localhost chat[293]: send (mylogname^M)
Jun 14 02:26:58 localhost chat[293]: expect (sword:)
Jun 14 02:26:58 localhost chat[293]: mylogname^M
Jun 14 02:26:58 localhost chat[293]: Password:
Jun 14 02:26:58 localhost chat[293]: -- got it
Jun 14 02:26:58 localhost chat[293]: send (??????)
Jun 14 02:26:58 localhost pppd[292]: Serial connection established.
Jun 14 02:26:59 localhost pppd[292]: Using interface ppp0
Jun 14 02:26:59 localhost pppd[292]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/modem
Jun 14 02:27:29 localhost pppd[292]: LCP: timeout sending Config-Requests
Jun 14 02:27:29 localhost pppd[292]: Connection terminated.
Jun 14 02:27:29 localhost pppd[292]: Receive serial link is not 8-bit clean:
Jun 14 02:27:29 localhost pppd[292]: Problem: all had bit 7 set to 0
Jun 14 02:27:29 localhost pppd[292]: Hangup (SIGHUP)
Jun 14 02:27:29 localhost pppd[292]: Exit.

I used the PPP set up advice on www.imaclinux.net which seemed good enough
although my ISP supplies a user IP address so I'm not sure where to put that.

Questions are:
1.
Why does the connecion drop and what the last few lines of the log mean in
      real life.
2.
Where should I put my own IP addresss.

As an aside the new kernel beeps on keyboard errors where can I inhibit that.

Regards Wayne.
