Hi all,

Yesterday or maybe the day before calling either the Energis ROMP -
(0845 ...) or Demon's Killingholm # (01469469666) caused IBM's PPP
stack to start giving the following errors.

'error  : [ipcp_up] Could not determine remote IP address
 error  : [cifaddr] route ioctl(SIOCDELRT) 10003'

The connection is them sumarily dropped :-( 

The PPP code level is 'Revision: 1.12 23 May 1995 13:57:56'.  The
TCPIP code level is 2.07L (most definitely not supported by IBM).
Oh this is Red Spine Warp with FP31; the only other relavent detail
might be sendmail 2.02 (8.6.11.1).

The two 'modems' (if thats what I should call them) that I can
confirm being connected to are 23 & 47, though there have been
others.

Can anyone else reproduce these errors?  Do the new TNT servers
expose known problems with IBM's PPP implemtation?

TIA
-- 
Warren.
