This was using userland PPP, on 2.2.6. We bought a new external US Robotics 56k external fax modem. Connected and used it ok. We installed Freebsd 3.2 and configured 3.2 userland PPP with the files from 2.2.6. Our ISP upgraded to 56k modems. Now, periodically the connection will just hang (no response from ping, but the lights on the modem show connection). The ppp log file looks ok. Sometimes after 10-15minutes it will come back from the hung state. Sometimes you have to reboot (not just kill ppp and restart it). Don't know what is causing this, but I need to get it back to a reliable state. We have this FreeBSD box as our gateway to the internet. (ppp -auto -alias isp). any ideas ? thanks, Darryl Hoar To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
