Hmm, I have two reasons for thinking that this is not the case: 1) When the answering machine is running, it's only using 5% of the CPU (on a PIII-600 with 256M RAM). 2) It's enough for the answering machine to start and then stop immediately, the ppp connection is still frozen until it time-outs a minute later, even if there is no traffic on the voice channel. It seems that something happens internally in isdnd when it forks and execs the answering machine program (mine is a C program; I tried with the answer.sh in contrib/ too with the same results). Am I the only one seeing this? /Janne To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isdn" in the body of the message
