Hi Eugene, PPP is actually comprised of 3 components: -HDLC encapsulates your IP packets into frames so they can go over the link -LCP establishes, configures, and tests the connection -NCP allows you to send different type of packets e.g. IP packets, IPX packets, etc. You might find this article interesting: http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/cisintwk/ito_doc/ppp.htm Cheers, Dru On Sun, 18 Mar 2001, Eugene Tooms wrote: > hi, I would like to know why this msg appers in /var/log/ppp.log: > Mar 18 07:05:29 nietzsche ppp[279]: tun0: Phase: deflink: HDLC errors -> > FCS: 8, ADDR: 0, COMD: 0, PROTO: 0 > > I'm using a ppp connection to my isp, why the msg refers to hdlc? > > thanks for comment, ppp is working fine, i'm just curiuos... > > > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message > > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
