I know this isn't particularily relevant to FreeBSD, so perhaps we should move the discussion into isp@freebsd.org. Nevertheless, this is very strange, not 30 seconds ago did I receive a message from one of my users describing a very similar problem. I'm using Sportster and Courrier USR products, and I have decided to wait until there is a known good relase of the 33.6 sportsters before upgrading my units. Another local provider bought 150 sportsters only to find out that they lock up regularly! USR seems quite unwilling to help them out, and were told to "wait for the next SW release". I smell a bug... Andrew Webster - andrew@pubnix.net - http://www.pubnix.net PubNIX Montreal - Connected to the world - Branche au monde 514-990-5911 - P.O. Box 147, Cote St-Luc, Quebec, H4V 2Y3
