Or even find out if it's enabled? A search on google mostly gives up ISDN cases of this kernel option. one article mentions spppcontrol to turn this off, but when I attempt to use this option I get the following PITA# spppcontrol tun0 spppcontrol: SIOCGIFGENERIC(SPPPIOGDEFS): Invalid argument I also attempted 'pppstats tun0' PITA# pppstats tun0 pppstats: invalid interface 'tun0' specified pppstats: couldn't get PPP statistics: Invalid argument PITA# pppstats -h pppstats: illegal option -- h Usage: pppstats [-a|-d] [-v|-r|-z] [-c count] [-w wait] [interface] Is there anything that I need to set in the /etc/ppp/ppp.conf or a sysctrl?
