The setup initially ran fine. But of recent many problems seem to cropped up, these are: 1) The PPP connection if due to some reason breaks the session on the tun interface does not break. I was suggested to get the latest release of ppp but that has not solved the problem. I have the "set Stopped 5" phrase in my ppp.conf?? 2) Of recent, the popper too behaves rather strangely, even after establishing a ppp connection, my users POP client ( Internet mail) hang-up while sending and receiving, I get messages such as BrokenPIPE, Popper hungup, this command is not supported very frequently etc... 3) On my tun interfaces, I seem to get this "EchoReived: His magic bad" error message. 4) Is there another POP3 server for FreeBSD other than popper, which is much stable. Will appreciate if someone could reply on skhan@khi.ncr.com.pk or Saqib.Khan@Pakistan.ncr.com ThanX To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
