User ppp is the rewritten replacement for kernel ppp and is the one used by everyone these days. Kernel ppp is a dead horse, forget all about it. To end user ppp session use console command killall ppp -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org]On Behalf Of Tadimeti Keshav Sent: Wednesday, September 10, 2003 10:49 PM To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org; freebsd-newbies@freebsd.org Subject: Misc PPP questions Hi guys, I have a few questions. What are the specific advantages of using a kernel PPP over user PPP? I use the command ppp -ddial papchap. This, I am told, establishes a "stable" connection (i.e reconections are handled automatically). How do I hang up? Just switch the modem off? (of course I commented the line "set timeout 3000" in /etc/ppp/ppp.conf.)
