As I read ppp(8), it could take up=20 >to 50 IPCP configreqs at 3 seconds to negotiate IP and/or DNS addresses? My experience was that the link would sometimes fail to come up. I'm not sure why retrying works - it's as if the remote end wants to use NetBIOS but will occasionally allow a connection without it. It's possible that this is no longer required - I haven't tried removing it. The 3 second timeout isn't really an issue because the remote end will normally immediately respond - with either an ACK or NACK. --=20 Peter Jeremy --Dzs2zDY0zgkG72+7 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.15 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAkw66BYACgkQ/opHv/APuIcEjQCdHoVY9jPIClyiImEYwFBTwQc4 C1gAn2naIzNNiFAcnhM0oWyJbgs1Pu77 =5El9 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Dzs2zDY0zgkG72+7--
