My question is this: > Is this a know problem with 2.0 that is fixed in 2.0.5? I had the same problem. Upgrading to 2.0.5 fixed the problem. Highly recommended since the user-land PPP implementation is really nice. It's worth it just for dial-on demand. I almost like using a dial-up now :-) Once thing I would like though is the ability to cycle through more than one phone number on a retry. .i.e. try a number, if it fails, try the next one and so on until you cycle through all supplied alternatives then start again. Anyone know the code well enough to go do this easily? -- Paul Richards, Bluebird Computer Systems. FreeBSD core team member.
