all, hopefully this, is the right place for this topic ? after may years of ms dos based uucp and 3 plus using the kernel pppd i figure its time for a change. well, that and i'd a better level of debuging/logging than is currently available from kernel pppd(8). i like the way logging and the various types of same that is possible to get from the userland version (and also exists in mpd, from doc's i've read). also i've got a recurrant and mysterious drop carrier every couple of days no rhyme or reason, just a note in the logs and a restart by kernel ppp ... at 25 cents a pop it can be quite annoying. here in australia we get charged 25 cents per connection fro our 'local' call, and its then "all you can eat" fro your local call connection fee. i've started to read about netgraph and like the idea, also that mpd is based on netgraph, so this would be a familiarisation process as well .. anyway i've rattled on for long enough. any war stories about mpd useage, abuse, reliability, relative ease of use configurability, etc, etc, would be apreciated. warm regards jonathan long time unix'ish user, still green around the gills in freebsd -- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
