Date: Tue, 23 Jan 1996 10:09:00 PST From: Bill Fenner Message-Id: <96Jan23.100908pst.177478@crevenia.parc.xerox.com> Sender: owner-current@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk What kind of terminal server is your PPP connection to? Many terminal servers have troubles with the timestamp and T/TCP options. The reason that it works from D->A but not from D->C is that neither SunOS nor Solaris use the extensions so D turns them off during connection startup. The reason it fails from D->C is that the extensions get negotiated but your PPP server can't deal with the extensions. Bill
