One great way to see where the problem is is to enable logging. Add "set log Phase Chat Connect LCP IPCP CCP tun command" to your ppp.conf file, and dial into the modempool. Then look at the logfile, paying attention to the timestamps. I've seen two causes for delays during a win95 login process. One was due to a misconfigured DNS setup on the modempool itself (this will make win95 pause at the "username/password" window), and the other was due to having IPX and/or the "log into network" options enabled on the client's end (this causes a pause at the "logging into the network" window). -Dan Nelson dnelson@emsphone.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
