First off, thanks very much for the prompt reply! I wonder if I were to add the `route delete -host xx.yy.zz.aa' to the slip shutdown script when a caller hangs up would help things? > If you look at -current in net/route.c:rtrequest(), there is some code > (and a big comment) below the `makeroute' label which attempts to > handle this case. It should patch cleanly into your system. Hmm, the route.c in 2.1.0-950726-SNAP which is what I'm already running, and the 2.1.0-951020-SNAP that I just grabbed both have the following headers, leading me to believe there are no changes between the two. * @(#)route.c 8.2 (Berkeley) 11/15/93 * $Id: route.c,v 1.23.4.1 1995/07/23 04:55:01 davidg Exp $ I guess that means it may not be fixed yet! I'll try the netstat -ran next time it acts up to see what information if any it returns. What else could I do to try and locate where the problem is coming from? Thanks!
