Hi there!

Last week I suddenly got caught by the infamous LCP loop bug. It
appeared all of a sudden; I hadn't done any changes, nor had the ISP
at work. After figuring out that I had the same problem as some others
have had, I applied the patch that Marc van Woerkom
<van.woerkom@netcologne.de> posted to the list (subject: "Infinite
loop (sppp/lcp)").

After that, I can connect alright, but it takes about ten seconds
instead of the normal 1-2 seconds.

Since I am about to install i4b on some ten boxes for colleagues at
work, I'd thought it would be nice to kill this bug. I want BSD (I use
NetBSD) to look as good as possible, and this ten second connect delay
is then hard to explain.

I use NetBSD-current (i386) and i4b-0.90. The ISDN card I'm using is
the AVM Fritz! PCI card.

Now to the problem. Below are transcripts from /var/log/messages
(produced by the isp0 device after setting the debug flag), from
isdntrace (on the same connection attempt), and from tcpdump* (from
another connection attempt).

*I have modified the print-ppp.c in the sppp directory to work with
the NetBSD tcpdump. I can send patches if anyone is interested.
