I use Helstra ADSL in Melbourne on freeBSD 4.3 and have never had any problems. I will dig up my kernel config, ppp.conf, whatever etc, if no one knows the actual cause of the problem and see if we can find anything.

I have adsl running on my gateway using pppoe with userppp and its internal nat enabled, also a fairly simple ipfw config blocking a few ports... Now every so often all data stops and checking on the gateway trying to send something I get the "sendto: No buffer space available" error and have to reboot and everything is fine again... It seems to happen at random, sometimes its fine for a week, sometimes only a few days and it happens... There is nothing of interest logged in ppp.log or security or messages... What causes this buffer to fill up and not empty? Here in australia telstras adsl is really crap and you often cant get more than 2 hops past the peer... Im wondering if its something to do with apps like bitchx trying to constantly reconnect when the network is down filling up the buffer??? But shouldnt the buffer eventualy empty as things time out or something? There is really not that much that should be trying to connect besides a few irc sessions... Anyway any ideas? Should I tweek some settings? Increase the max users in the kernel? This is a really annoying little problem... Thanks!!
