Yes, but kppp messes up the serial handshake quite badly. I don't really
know where the errors are coming from, but you could try a new (2.1.13x or
2.2.0-preX) kernel. At least one source of bad checksum packets was fixed
some time since 2.1.24

The kernel is 2.1.24. Actually, if I start ppp as root from console, I
don't see lot packets transfer. If the machine is freshly rebooted and
I login from a regular user's X-window, using 'su -', then problem
will come up. It seems to me the machine sends out packets and then
the packets loop back.

The "Bad checksum" message has nothing to do with X-window.

What kernel? This has been resolved (though it came and went for a

time...) It never fully stopped networking from working, though.

Thank you very much for the info, I didn't know netcfg can be used

to

set up network. I tried kppp but no luck at all so I just use the
regular ppp. I guess there are some other problems with the network.
It complains "bad checksum". I need to look into this when I get a
chance.

Thanks again
