Which do people think is best at making a PPP over Ethernet client out of a FreeBSD 4.5 box? I'm currently using ppp(8) per an example that came with it, but I'm getting unexplained dropouts in a Speak Freely link (UDP based), and when my system starts, my firewall configuration experiences a few bumps which I think are caused by chicken-egg types of issues. I've long used mpd for a VPN connection between FreeBSD boxen and thought I could add a config to it for this PPPoE (DSL) link... I'm not aware of alternatives outside of ppp and mpd, but if someone wants to make a case for one, I'll listen. Thanks much. -- Doug Lee dgl@visi.com http://www.visi.com/~dgl Bartimaeus Group doug@bartsite.com http://www.bartsite.com "Determine that the thing can and shall be done, and then...find the way." - Abraham Lincoln To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
