I have a client running PPPoE to their ISP since 4.2-R with no problems (except for an idiot in their office who reboots everything he can lay his hands on if one of his windows apps acts up :-( ) Unfortunately the mean time between idiots is < 30 days, so I can't say that it is stable over long periods. The one thing I did have to add to the ppp.conf was enable lqr without it, the client end would not notice if the ISP silently disappeared. -stacy -- Nothing spoils fun like finding out it builds character. - Calvin Stacy Millions stacy@millions.ca Millions Consulting Limited To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
