Hello, I'm noticing a strange behavior in userland ppp - when I download something from ftp (or other extensive network use), other programs cannot get any chunk of bandwidth, it just takes all the bandwidth and doesn't leave other programs any. Even small packets like dns queries fail I've tried to play with "set urgent" in ppp.conf and via the pppctl, but it doesn't seem to help. (Which reminds me - how can I check the "urgent" list?) I don't remember when I first noticed this behavior, but it wasn't this way once. The same computer in linux 2.2.x with their kernel ppp works as expected: when something is using the network extensively, it's slow, but works for other apps. In freebsd, however, every program I tried fails after a timeout. Perhaps I'm doing something wrong? --Roman Shterenzon, UNIX System Administrator and Consultant [ Xpert UNIX Systems Ltd., Herzlia, Israel.
