I also have ADSL and used pptpclient to connect to it. I had frequent disco's witch became worse when time went by. Mostly with heavy use. My thought on this is that the line was dropped when the CPU was overloaded and those couldn't maintain the connection for that time. Since then i switched to letting my modem build the connection. I've had no problem since. -- Best regards, Alex The FreeBSD handbook http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/index.html To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
