Re: Code red II crashes cisco 678

["JAX" <jax () evosoft dk>]

Hi Geo .

    Thanx for the advice but it's still crashing. I even changed the web
port to 81 , they say it's helping
but it did not help me . My Cbos still looses the ppp conection :

25 000:00:42:48 PPP        Info       PPP Termination Acknowledgement on
wan0-0
26 000:00:42:48 PPP        Info       PPP Down Event on wan0-0

Any ideea where this is comming from ?
