>Release: FreeBSD 2.2.5-RELEASE i386
>Environment:
PC with ISDN connection (bisdn-0.97, bisdntest-3) via ppp
>Description:
It seems the ppp interface doesnt count output packets.
The connection works normally, but only the input packet
count ever increments in the netstat -i display.
>How-To-Repeat:
Obvious from netstat -i.
>Fix:
The following fix has been in use for some time and does
not cause ill side effects. There may be a better solution,
I am not really a kernel hacker.
