Everything works fine. There's just this small problem. e.g. % telnet an.internet.host #ppp opens the line nothing happens, you either stop the telnet and start a new one % telnet an.internet.host ^C % telnet an.internet.host #now it works, the connection will be established or, you % ping www.freebsd.org #for example, and the telnet gets also established the same problem applies to ftp, http, https, smtp and maybe other protocols. Have you any idea what the source of this could be ? And in case you know, how we could get rid of this problem.
