Does any newer version have anything > like that? Yep. I rationalized the throughput and uptime stuff recently (see throughput.c, added November 18). You now get throughput and uptime for the physical modem and for the IPCP layer. On-the-fly throughput is only measured if you ``enable throughput'', but uptime and overall throughput are always measured. This info is also available using ``show modem'' and ``show ipcp''. The latest ppp is available on http://www.freebsd.org/~brian (if you're not -current). > thanks, > Keith -- Brian <brian@Awfulhak.org>, <brian@FreeBSD.org>, <brian@OpenBSD.org> <http://www.Awfulhak.org>; Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour....
