As some of you know i'm in deep shit.

I started 10 january with a project: getting an Internet site up and
running for the people in my surroundings. I was a total newby,
learned/worked hard to get the (user)-level knowledge, testing and
implementing.
Now 26 augustus i'm still stuck in getting the ppp-server side working
trustfully, me running round and round the problem (i don't have the
capabillity (yet) to solve problems or missing bits in unix code).
As my untrained eyes see it comes down to a serial driver problem but to be
"complete" here's the problem description and used setups and the like. I
alread send it to Monroe last evening/night, cause he offered help. Hope he
doesn't mind that i post it to everyone, hope everyone still want to take a
look at it cause for me, to go on, it needs to be solved a few weeks ago.

How dumb or whatever this may look like,
please write me about every stupidity inside.

If i failed to give some needed information please ask.
If i gave to much information please take in account
i'm still a newby compared with most of you people

If you've got a contribution to solve it please state,
it will be seen/felt as a very big and needed, not expected anymore,
present/gift.

The most stable (ehum) setup till now:

>>>A fuller description of your problems and hardware & software setup

One problem left (?):
-losing the ppp connection totally or a "socket not connected" when
transfering f.i. files bigger then 10k sometimes 80k over the ppp-link,
that with using f.i. MacPPP v2.01 at 38400 or 19200 & Netscape v1.1N, but
it also happens with Trumpet and there Netscape versions. The www-server is
on the ppp-servers ether or a www-server on the net gated with a
bsd-ppp-client. Also when people receive mails bigger then ???Kb.
