Ever find your problem? Most stuff like this I've seen has been due to flaky/misconfigured line hardware - had a frame circuit once that showed line/protocol both up, but gave CRCs on all data - turned out to be a DSU configured for 1 less channel than it was supposed to have...

Interested in the answer, -Jon

bug in 12.0.4 involving the "new model" authentication stuff... 12.0.5 allowed for dialup to use new model but by default WAN links do not use new model and/or no ppp authorization over-rides new model... 12.0.4 does not, so PPP was trying to authenticate...

fix is to put

aaa authorization network foo none

into config and then

ppp authorization foo

into config for interface...

bullshit cisco stuff...

no ppp authorization

which is default on WAN should have done it, and indeed did do it on 12.0.5T ...snip...
