In any case, since I can back date to 4.3-RELEASE and everything works again, any telco equipment that causes the problem could have been in existence forever. I am unlikely to have any joy chasing that up. To reiterate, with exactly the same hardware and exactly the same ppp.conf setup on completely virgin installs, 4.3 works and 4.4 doesn't. Either I'm completely bonkers (I don't discount the possibility!!) or something changed in between, likely around August based on my cvsup history. The machine is a P60 or else I would go through making the world at weekly back-dates to narrow when the change occured. (I might start that process in the background anyway.) Surely someone with Telstra ADSL is using a recently dated version of FreeBSD 4-STABLE and can confirm or refute this problem. Perhaps Paul Hoadley whose guide "FreeBSD on Telstra's Bigpond ADSL network" I used to set this up originally? > Could it be possible that something in the PPP or PPPoE implementations > makes FreeBSD prone to problems in certain fringe situations? I have no idea. I hope not and have noticed no evidence before this!! Thanks for your input. Cheers, Greg P.S. I will not attach my original long email which described the problem.
