You mention that you use the aliasing - could you do me a favour and test whether it work better with the latest version of the aliasing code? PPP+pktAlias 1.9 is at http://www.srv.net/~cmott/alias.html - this is based on PPP from 3.0-CURRENT as of late January (just prior to the patches to fix the signal problems). You might also be interested in testing whether your problems are from the signal handling - the signal handling was improved sometime in mid-February, and if that is not what you referred to having tested above, you might want to try it. >Other things...

And I have used all bandwidth there is :) (28.8k) Eivind Eklund perhaps@yes.no http://maybe.yes.no/perhaps/ eivind@freebsd.org
