I was working on a console and the keyboard is unresponsive, the interface doesn't respond to pings. Is there anything I can do to regain control short of a power-off on this machine? For my info, how can issuing the following command: # pppd /dev/cuaa0 192.168.3.202:192.168.3.203 \ > noauth nodetach novj debug 115200 local lock up the entire OS? FYI, I've been exeucting this same command on two other 4.3-S boxes for the past 2 weeks. -- Regards, Doug To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
