He says, if you use HDLC, then we have to assign you a permanent IP address. We can't do that. That's one reason why I still only have an analog connection to him. I want to use HDLC. The second reason is that I didn't think it would work. In regards to PPP with the current FBSD stuff: did you try this using pppd ? What were the symptoms of the failure ? I've never tried using PPP since I don't have a partner who speaks PPP. Hellmuth Michaelis tells me that the latest isdn4linux supports PPP with channel bundling. I'm planning to take a look at it and maybe use it as a basis for (at least) implementing channel bundling. I still have the problem of no partner :( --- Gary Jennejohn (work) gjennejohn@frt.dec.com (home) Gary.Jennejohn@munich.netsurf.de (play) gj@freebsd.org
