Hello, I was wondering if you could update the PPP and/or PPPoE handbook pages to mention the "tcpmssd" port in /usr/ports/net/tcpmssd. I almost switched to Linux *gasp!* because I didn't think FreeBSD could do MSS clamping. This is neccessary for people running PPP and NAT - instead of changing the MTU size of all your clients behind a dsl pppoe/nat gateway, you can just run tcpmssd on your gateway box and it as the same effect. On a Mac you can't change the MTU size without third party software, so this is the only free solution. Here is a cached web page describing in detail how to setup PPPoE under FreeBSD (the original site doesn't seem to be up): http://www.google.com/search?q=cache:renaud.waldura.com/doc/freebsd-pppoe/+renaud+pppoe&hl=en Maybe you could just replace the current PPPoE handbook entry with this page? It goes into much more detail.. Thanks!! -David -- David Carlin -- djc6@scl.cwru.edu | Case Western Reserve University Manager, Smith Computer Lab | 10900 Euclid Ave. Phone: (216) 368-5066 | A.W.
