Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Date: Thu, 06 Mar 1997 14:00:36 -0600 From: Chris Csanady Sender: owner-current@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I've been using ppp for quite a while, but I've had a few problems. My system is current as of Jan 30. What happens is that a lot of the time I'm ftping something, the link will freeze if I try to do anything else. However, if I don't use much bandwidth, it will stay up for hours. I tried compiling ppp from current, but after using it for a few minutes, it starts gobbling up all my CPU, and I have to use -9 to kill it. It is completely unusable. So whats the deal? I'd love to use kernel ppp, although I need the dial on demand and aliasing. :( Will user ppp ever be reliable? Other things... I'm using and MTU and MRU of 576, lqr off, pred1 off, over a 28.8. Any ideas? Thanks, Chris Csanady
