The cpu (PII 400) is more then sufficiently powered to handle nat and ppp over a modem. Nor is system paging to swap. Anyone else noticed similar load averages? Top doesn't seem to provide any evidence of ppp, being stuck in a busy loop. hardknocks:~>uptime;uname -a 3:10PM up 7 days, 47 mins, 2 users, load averages: 0.85, 0.79, 0.76 FreeBSD hardknocks.school.org 3.4-STABLE FreeBSD 3.4-STABLE #1: Sun Feb 20 03:20:00 PST 2000 manek@hardknocks.school.org:/usr/src/sys/compile/Hardknocks i386 last pid: 45746; load averages: 0.86, 0.84, 0.78 up 7+00:18:23 14:41:45 36 processes: 1 running, 33 sleeping, 2 stopped CPU states: 1.0% user, 0.0% nice, 0.5% system, 0.0% interrupt, 98.5% idle Mem: 14M Active, 85M Inact, 18M Wired, 6220K Cache, 8349K Buf, 616K Free Swap: 512M Total, 512M Free PID USERNAME PRI NICE SIZE RES STATE TIME WCPU CPU COMMAND 45746 manek 28 0 1576K 792K RUN 0:00 1.54% 0.15% top 45687 root 2 0 1484K 1024K select 0:27 0.00% 0.00% ppp To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
