I have a question. Until yesterday, I used to run PPP from a prompt and
login and the ppp process used very little cpu time when looking at TOP.
Now, I assume I am running kernel ppp since I have cron verify my modem
connection and restart if it detects a dropped carrier. Below is a
capture of my TOP and I am wondering if the amount of CPU time ppp is
using is normal? Does this effect my system performance and is there a
work around?
