It is configured to run userland PPP. I have it aliasing (ppp -auto -alias demand). The modem is an external 3com 56k. Now, the problem. Sometimes when it dials up the ppp connection it works. Sometiems, it connects (lightsup modem, no chat script failure), but the send light flickers (no receive) and ping hangs until no buffer space message. This requires a reboot. I can't seem to figure out what is causing this . Any ideas ? -- Darryl To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
