So is there a way to fix this? This problem only occurs on the FBSD machine, not on a SunOS machine on the same network (although the sun isn't runinng routed, while the FBSD is....). In other words, shouldn't the FBSD pick up the route to the SLIP peer once I re-hook up to the portmaster? Thanks, -joe
