First of all, welcome to the club! :) Although Marc's patch might work, I wouldn't use it on production boxes (like for the ten colleagues you mentioned), because this breaks all PPP state machines -- not just LCP, but IPCP as well. This needs to be fixed. (As far as I know, there is no PR for this.) After I get my FreeBSD system at home going again (at most a month), I plan to attack this. If you are interested in looking through some code (mostly comparing -stable with 0.71) send me an email and we can get something coordinated (divide and conquer!) Until then, if you can take it, go back to 0.71. :( -Paul. ---------------------------------------------------- PIRONET AG Paul Herman - Consultant - SBU Providing Im Mediapark 5 - 50670 Cologne - Germany Tel.: +49 (0)221 454 3832 - Fax: +49 (0)221 454 3810 mailto:pherman@piro.net - http://www.piro.net/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isdn" in the body of the message
