Virgin mobile LCP term request

[bmeagle]

I installed ubuntu 8.10 for some friends, used my huawei e220 which it picked up beautifully do download some stuff. Then I wanted to get them connected to the internet vi their cellphones, usb cable.
Using my nokia 6610 nav with the appropriate vodacom dialup script it connects 100% to the internet (via usb cable).
However, when using their Nokia E51 on virgin mobile I get the results shown below, I used the same script as for vodacom, I just changed the apn from internet to vstat, what else is necessary for the virgin mobile network.
To me it seems that the server sends a termination request instead of giving the dns server addresses.

Press CTRL-C to close the connection at any stage!

Hi bmeagle,

Why does that nick ring a bell..........

Anyways....try sending a password - my scripts used to send "user" and "pass" for the username and password.

The answer I got on the tlug forums, adding nodeflate to the peers file seems to do the trick:

If it does, it probably rings true, AFAIK I am the only one using it and I have stuck with it for quite some time!
