Even small packets like dns queries fail I've tried to play with "set urgent" in ppp.conf and via the pppctl, but it doesn't seem to help. (Which reminds me - how can I check the "urgent" list?) I don't remember when I first noticed this behavior, but it wasn't this way once. The same computer in linux 2.2.x with their kernel ppp works as expected: when something is using the network extensively, it's slow, but works for other apps. In freebsd, however, every program I tried fails after a timeout. Perhaps I'm doing something wrong? --Roman Shterenzon, UNIX System Administrator and Consultant [ Xpert UNIX Systems Ltd., Herzlia, Israel.
