Just won't get a physical connection. Initializes and dials fine...starts the handshake and never finishes.

I looked at the logs and this was one of the attempts with soundcard: Jan 25 21:47:48 kamikaze ppp[834]: Phase: Enter pause (3) for redialing.

Just curious. Yes...I tried once _while_ using mpg123...didn't even skip. --Ian Ian Clendaniel Systems Analyst Network Operations Conectiv int:252-5577 ext:451-5577 mailto:ian.clendaniel@conectiv.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
