MTNL is anti-linux, it seems.

Hi !! guys,
I am really fed up with mtnl's server's behaviour.
pppd running on my linux-box is smoothly connecting to vsnl
account whereas gives errors when connecting to my mtnl account.
following are the relevant extract from my system log.

Jul 24 09:57:16 dolphin pppd[623]: Serial connection established.
Jul 24 09:57:17 dolphin pppd[623]: Using interface ppp0
Jul 24 09:57:17 dolphin pppd[623]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/ttyS0
Jul 24 09:57:47 dolphin pppd[623]: LCP: timeout sending Config-Requests
Jul 24 09:57:47 dolphin pppd[623]: Connection terminated.
Jul 24 09:57:47 dolphin pppd[623]: Receive serial link is not 8-bit
clean:
Jul 24 09:57:47 dolphin pppd[623]: Problem: all had bit 7 set to 0
Jul 24 09:57:48 dolphin pppd[623]: Exit.

I tried enabling pap then chap and all the combination. The connection
is
too moody. It connects whenever it wants and with the same settings does

not connect the next time. However, it always connects when connecting
thru Microsoft Windows.

Please check out if anyone of you have a stable solution for this
problem.
