User PPP worked > too easily other than this lockup problem, to want to try kernel PPP ;-) on 2.2-gamma dated ~ feb 27, i see this problem every day, perhaps 1-2 times. it's very annoying. ppp stops responding and starts chewing cpu. i end up killing ppp (w/ -9), doing ifconfig tun0 delete, route delete default, and dialing in again. my main reason for using ppp is the packet aliasing -- i need that. blah, faried. -- faried nawaz WAR IS PEACE FREEDOM IS SLAVERY BACKSPACE IS DELETE box 3582, moscow, id 83843-1914, usa linux, the ms-dos of the nineties PIGLET loves you if at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you not a system janitor.
