[Warning: this isn't much more than a "me too!"] I first noticed this using "ppp -ddial" back as far as probably 3.4-R. The problem is that it occurs _so_ infrequently (the interval on my machine is more like weeks than days) that it's hard to even replicate the problem, let alone gather data on it when it occurs. As an interim solution, Aaron Hill and I have been using this script he wrote for a couple of years: http://logicsquad.net/freebsd/pingmonitor-how-to.html It's not rocket science -- it just pings the next hop on your link -- but it's been working for us for quite a while. -- Paul. mailto:paulh@logicsquad.net mailto:paul.hoadley@student.adelaide.edu.au To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
