I have a dialup FreeBSD box with 16 modems running through a Cyclades 16Ye PCI board. Things were going pretty well for the last few weeks... I had a few disconnects, but nothing to serious. Now however, I can't seem to keep the system up for any length of time. I currently have disconnected all but 4 of the modems to try and troubleshoot this problem, but don't really have a clue as to what is causing it, except I keep getting these messages... bobcats2 pppd[277]: ioctl (PPPIOCGGLAGS): Inappropriate ioctl for device I get about 4 of those a whack. I also notice that on bootup, I get a message about the httpd daemon starting, but it says bind: Address already in use, then sometimes says right after that httpd: cannot connect to port 80 I think this is where my problem is, but I don't know how to tackle it? Can anyone help me? ........................................ . Bill Beavers, Technology Coordinator . .
