I'm not sure what the 10-21 snap is, but if it's from between October 6 & 12, it's been fixed now. You should be able to dodge the problem (if you can't get a later snap) with "disable vjcomp" and "deny vjcomp" before dialing. > Any ideas? > > David > > P.S.: On another note, sometimes if I abort an operation (ctrl-c) when > installing FreeBSD (for instance, if I get tired of watching a 100 > byte per second install), the screen goes completely blue and a few > moments later the install dies with a signal 11. Hmm, shouldn't do. A ^c in ppp should just close the connection. -- Brian , , Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour....
