The outq error was a typo in the source code. It's now fixed. You can get the current version of ppp from http://www.FreeBSD.org/~brian. I'd appreciate if you'd download the latest version and post if you're still getting segmentation faults. There's a bit in the FAQ on http://www.FreeBSD.org/FAQ/userppp.html that explains how to coerce ppp into dumping core if it's suffering from segmentation faults or the like (which it should *never* do). > Thanks > Vince That said, your speed problem is due to the sio overflows. I'd be quite surprised if this is anything to do with ppp. Have you tried things on another serial port (if you have two) ? What DTR speed are you using ? It should be 115200bps for a 33k modem. What sort of UART do you have ? -- Brian <brian@Awfulhak.org>, <brian@FreeBSD.org>, <brian@OpenBSD.org> <http://www.Awfulhak.org>; Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour....
