I've got some 6.1-STABLE boxes running since 70 days uninterrupted on german T-Com ADSL (PPPoE). ppp redials automatically without any problems there. The question is: did something change in the source of ppp or ng_pppoe in the mean time to cause breakage? I have currently no *physical* access to a fresh box on T-Com to confirm that previously working setup is now broken. > ppp commandline: > /usr/sbin/ppp -quiet -ddial -nat papchap Regards, -cpghost. -- Cordula's Web. http://www.cordula.ws/
