This belongs on -questions, so I've redirected it. Pppd uses UUCP locks to cooperate with other programs, but if some other process has locked the device (eg a terminal program like cu, or minicom, or another copy of pppd) it will say the device is busy. If you look in /var/spool/lock you may find some files who names begin with LCK, cat them and they should show a process ID, use 'ps -ax' to find out what process is holding the lock. Also, use ppp instead of pppd it is maintained regularly whereas pppd isn't (I think). --- Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer for Genesis Software - http://www.gsoft.com.au "The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from." -- Andrew Tanenbaum To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
