At least for me, it used to work for something like two years now there (and i'm using it daily). Without a massive code review, i can't however tell you the exact chain of events that happens once the callout is triggered, that's nothing one can remember for more than a week. :-) I could however offer you a log from "ifconfig ... debug" for a callout dial-on-demand connection, that should demonstrate the state transitions for normal (i. e. no packet loss) negotiations. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
