Run "tcpdump -n -i tun0" to print all the packets going out over your PPP link. Determine which packets are the offending win95 packets, then in your ppp.conf, add some "set filter dial" lines blocking those packets from triggering a dialout. There are some examples in /etc/ppp/ppp.conf.sample. -Dan Nelson dnelson@emsphone.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
