Check out http://www.FreeBSD.org/FAQ/ppp.html. Your best bet is to set up a diagnostic socket and attach to it when ppp appears hung. You should be able to ``set log local physical'' and see any incoming and outgoing traffic. If there's no incoming traffic, I'd tend to blame the peer. > Hi all. > I have a small network (3 machines) running on 192.168. addresses, > outside connection is 56K modem.
