EDIT: For some strange reason, removing updetach from ppp options fixes it beautifully, I would really like to know why, though


I've had this problem with both a shiny new install of gentoo (2008.0) (Nothing much upgraded) and the gentoo box just before I re-installed,

I use a Telstra NT1 plus 2 isdn modem, connected to the computer via USB, whenever I try to dial up, it always dials up once, hangs up immediately, and then waits 30 seconds, and dials up successfully

The terminal output as I'm trying to dial up
Code:
calliope ~ # /etc/init.d/net.ppp0 start
 * Starting ppp0
 *   Bringing up ppp0
 *     ppp
 *       Running pppd ...
ppp0: error fetching interface information: Device not found
 *       ppp0 received address


/var/log/messages as I'm trying to dial up
Code:
