Hi,

Please help.

Recently I got new lines from the phone company, I am able to support
4 ppp connection at one time (running 2.0.5 and user mode ppp). But, when
5th person connects I get massage saying "can't find ifindex" and then
"device not configured".
Following is my ppp.log file info.

06-09 22:32:11 [19989] Using interface: tun3
06-09 22:32:11 [19989] PPP Started.
06-09 22:32:30 [19989] SIGHUP
06-09 22:32:31 [19989] PPP Terminated.
06-09 22:33:11 [19985] Using interface: tun3
Packet mode enabled
Packet mode enabled

I have compiled the kernel with the following options. 

# ijppp uses tun instead of ppp device
#pseudo-device	ppp     16	
pseudo-device	tun     16	
pseudo-device	pty	16
pseudo-device	gzip		# Exec gzipped a.out's

Do I need to specify anything else in the kernel?

I have made all the devices using "MAKEDEV tun4" etc.

When I specify netstat -ain I do see 16 tun devices.
Only difference is tun4 has MTU of 552. How do I change back to
1500?
