I am running FreeBSD 2.1.5 on a Gateway 2000 486sx33 machine, connecting via PPP to a Pipex caller account in the UK via 28k8 modem. I have an iijppp configuration that works consistently well if I connect and disconnect using the 'dial' and 'close' commands. However, if I then try to use the automatic mode with an equivalent configuration, the ppp process sometimes (but not always) core dumps about two seconds after the IP layer comes up. I've tried enabling full logging, and this shows up nothing untoward in the traffic over the link at any point before the disaster. I've also tried recompiling ppp with '-g -O0' and gdb-ing the output, but whatever went wrong broke things so badly that gdb couldn't give me a backtrace. This looks to me like a memory allocation/stray pointer problem that would be extremely hard for me to diagnose myself. Is this a known problem? Are there any known fixes? I assume I'm not the only person who wants to use the automatic mode, and that others have it working fine. Thanks for any help, --Clive.
