A few things in 2.1.5's iijppp that have been fixed are the stupid 10 tunnel device limit in os.c Other changes in 2.2 include route.c (some missing "free's" added and dynamic vs. static memory allocs for some sections). Lots of logging stuff got slight naming changes... someone mucked with the chat stuff... support for ms extensions (rfc1877) and pap authentication using the password file... The easiest way to see the diff's would be to cvs checkout a copy of each and diff 'em. I'd suggest patching route.c and os.c for starters... then checking the commit logs for each of the other files changed, checking the reasons/applied patches, and updating for _fixes_ (not functional additions) FWIW we run a "updated" iijppp avaiable at ftp://ftp.imforei.apana.org.au/pub/freebsd/ppp-plus that has the os.c and route.c fixes... I haven't merged in more recent fixes. If you have the time a review of current's iijppp code with regards to the mpd (multilink) code's changes and all applied changes/fixes, plus anything netbsd might have done with it could be profitable.

I don't think bad memory is a problem, because it's a PPro motherboard with the Natoma chipset, and the BIOS was set to ECC. However, I'm wondering about the motherboard itself, since the serial ports stopped working :-( Thanks, Gary -- Gary Palmer FreeBSD Core Team Member FreeBSD: Turning PC's into workstations.

The basic manifestation is demand dialed connections failing after several login/timeout cycles. Generally, it seems to happen after at least 3 or 4 cycles. Once ppp hangs in this manner, any attempt to stop ppp will hang the system -- Ctrl-Alt-Del doesn't get it. I haven't really probed any further than that.
