I could only connect about 50% of the time. It came in after the 0.7x stable branch. I tried to take a look at it and fix it, but it doesn't seem to have anything to do with the sppp side of things, and I fear that the problem is hiding on a lower level. I don't know of anyone who is working on it at the time. Anyone? Two solutions have been proposed: * Go back to 0.71 (the version on the 3.3 CD) * Use Brian Sommers ppp(8) (aka user-ppp) -Paul. ---------------------------------------------------- PIRONET AG Paul Herman - Consultant - SBU Providing Im Mediapark 5 - 50670 Cologne - Germany Tel.: +49 (0)221 454 3832 - Fax: +49 (0)221 454 3810 mailto:pherman@piro.net - http://www.piro.net/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isdn" in the body of the message
