Do I understand this right that if I switch to user ppp I would not have to fear to be hit by the lcp loop bug again, assuming that it was the lcp loop bug that caused the problem? I just tried it with user ppp and it works. I also like user ppp better, I was just using sppp because when I started with i4b, using user ppp was not yet an option. >> And do you see any chance that I could argue the Telekom into not >> having to pay this abhorrent sum?

Do you think it is safe to tell them I am using FreeBSD in combination with an external (BZT approoved) TA? I have enough of them floating around and also configuration files for it, so I could easily switch to this solution for the time until the matter is settled. Or should I set up a Windows solution <brrr>? HM> IIRC the sppp loop bug was seen with Ascends. Does this indicate that the problem was essentially a bug in my FreeBSD code, but that this was triggered by some sort of misbehaviour in the Ascend?
