A bit late on this thread I know. The reason being - no modem for over a week. When I ran ppp and went to terminal mode there was no response at all from the modem. I was running 4.0-STABLE. Was A1 under 3.4-STABLE. I managed to get online (very) early Saturday morning to cvsup. Sometime during the power down/make world/reading of 500+ emails it broke again. It's currently working (obviously), but I'm too paranoid to do anything in case I break it again. I have set pseudo-device tun 1, contrary to GENERIC setting. The modem is a no-name (ORIGO) 56k6 Rockwell Voice, ISA with jumpers, set to COM 4 IRQ 9. Tried in the two machines I have at home. One with PNP COM ports, the other not. Could be broken hardware of course. I also find I can no longer authenticate on freeserve (UK). X-stream is okay. Can someone who uses freeserve confirm/deny connection with 4.0-STABLE. Could be broken ISP of course. Any assistance would be most welcome. I can provide dmesg or whatever, but I'm not sure that will help as it's currently okay. Could be broken 'userware' of course :-) On a positive note, at least I now know how to set up a gateway host and DNS servers. Next step - packet filtering and proxy servers. Joy Joy Joy. ian j hart PS. The upgrade 3.4-4.0 went more or less without a hitch. Slightly sweaty palms I couldn't remount / single user. Fixed that once I realised it was still on wd0 not ad0. PPS. This probably will not attach to the thread. I find I cannot send mail (ISP firewall?). Thank God for Yahoo in emergencies. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
