If I remember correctly it was due to quench not being issued in response to ENOBUFS. My problem is similar: I have a 28.8 connection which stays nailed up 24/7. After a random (but large, approx. 110,000) number of seconds this error pops up and the link goes phase dead, forcing a kill -9 on ppp and usually the recreation of tun0. I am running 2.2-SNAP-960612 on both machines, but thought this was fixed before then. Sorry if this has been fixed in subsequent snaps (I've been too busy to upgrade). If not, does anyone have any ideas? - Bruce ======================================================================== || Bruce Walter || CB #7400 McGavran-Greenberg Hall || || Information Technology Support || Chapel Hill, NC 27599-7400 || || Department of Biostatistics || Tel: 919-966-7279 || || University of North Carolina || Fax: 919-966-3804 || ======================================================================== || BSD Unix -- It's not just a job, it's a way of life! || ========================================================================
