You can find it in the mail archive at www.freebsd.org. The subject: Subject: Infinite loop (sppp/lcp) I've seen a report that this doesn't necessarily work, but it's worth a try.

None of the developers see this bug, and therefore cannot do much about it. --- Gary Jennejohn / garyj@muc.de garyj@fkr.cpqcorp.net gj@freebsd.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isdn" in the body of the message
