Hey all. This might have already been asked, but, well, I'm too tired at this point to really care, and I've been behind on mail... Has any- one been having problems with user-land PPP under -current? Specifically, is anyone getting a *lot* of SIGSEGV's? I'm experiencing weird problems with a 3.0-CURRENT system (with a force'd make world) talking PPP though a 16550 UART to a USR modem to a telebit netblazer at PSU's comp center. It's so bad, I can only keep a PPP connection alive for about 5 minutes before ppp starts eating up CPU time (presumably in signal handers, at least that's what ktrace says), and I have to kill -9 it. I'll try look- ing into the code after my exam tomorrow (today?) but I'd prefer to avoid duplicating effort if someone is already experiencing similar problems and working on a fix. :-) As a work-around, I think I'll recompile the kernel with PPP support tomorrow, and set up stuff up to talk to the comp center through pppd (which I assume isn't going to have as many problems... :-) If anyone has any information, or needs any more info on my system, please let me know. Thanks! - Dan C.
