Hi! I have a question about why /usr/sbin/ppp in 2.1R have XON/XOFF enabled? What I can se in the manpage for ppp it says that I should use Hardware Handshake and when I try to connect to an Annex configured for dialback I get some line-noice when the other side dissconnects to dialback. One of these noice characters tend to be XOFF which make my FreeBSD computer wait for an XON which will newer arrive, as an result the ppp process hangs IO-wait so I can't kill it! But after disabling XON/XOFF in /usr/sbin/ppp it works just like a charm! /Mattias
