This is a known problem and it's caused by the way if_spppsubr.c and i4b_isppp.c interact. There's no fix and no work-around for it. Well, actually I have patches which make it work, but only if you have a static IP. AFAIK my patches were never incorporated (and I made them after Hellmuth updated the 4.0 tree, so they won't be in any official release). You can probably find this stuff by searching the ISDN mail archive. --- Gary Jennejohn / garyj@muc.de gj@freebsd.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
