If you ``show timer'' a few times, are the times changing ? What about enabling tcp diagnostics (set log [local] +tcp/ip) ? Is ppp trying to send stuff out and is it receiving stuff ? Another interesting piece of output is ``show mem'' - you can see how many internal mbufs are currently allocated. > Ben > > "You have your mind on computers, it seems." -- Brian , , Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour....
