[hcflinux] pppd died enexpectedly, randomly....

[Bryan Zubrod]

I have tried using KPPP and X-isp, and both seem to get disconnected at 
random times, while using KPPP, I get the error message, "pppd died 
unexpectedly" and "exit status 16" and that exit status means that the link 
was terminated by the modem hanging up.

and this is part of the lastcallstatus log that caught my eye...
<TX FRAME ERROR COUNT=77>
<RX FRAME ERROR COUNT=7>
<TERMINATION CAUSE=Call in progress>

and here is a sample of what I think is me getting disconnected in my 
/var/log/messages file...

if you have any idea why it keeps disconnecting me like this, please help! 
thank you!   Oh ya, and it seems to disconnect mainly when I run more things 
at once that are trying to get data off the internet.... thank you again.
