Upgrade to the latest ppp. It sounds like you've got some stuff in your dial filter and not in your out filter that is just sitting there waiting for a connection...... At one point, ppp would just leave this stuff in the queue and get a bit blocked up. It now swallows it on the basis that it'll probably have timed out by the time someone brings up the connection. http://www.Awfulhak.org/ppp/ > Wayne. > -- > Wayne G Boyd, Digital Systems Manager > JCE (Aberdeen) Ltd > Tel: +44 (0)1224 772030 > Fax: +44 (0)1224 772002 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
