Really dumb question this one, but what are the "octets" referred to in my ppp "show physical" output? ---- Connect time: 2:36:04 40520962 octets in, 1102167 octets out overall 4445 bytes/sec currently 5946 bytes/sec (over the last 5 secs) peak 11491 bytes/sec on Thu Dec 2 17:16:37 1999 ---- Bytes? or something else? And what is actually being counted? I am not clear about the distinction between "IPCP" and "physical" throughputs.... Thanks :-) Wincent PS I am connecting via a 56K modem, so I am obsessed with milking every last drop of speed and throughput out of the connection.... heheh ;-) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
