: :ppp links that have been established for some time, usually more than a :couple hours and often days, and the link is idle, results in :ping/traceroute times of 8-11 seconds. The problem does not appear :confined to one machine either, with two of our machines displaying the :problem. This must reduce the likelyhood of it being a hardware problem. : :The ppp links are across modems, and in the case of one machine, permanent :links/Members. I've never noticed a problem like that which couldn't be traced back to the hardware. I havn't purchased a modem in quite some time but... Some modems had a problem where they would train down (due to poor line quality) but wouldn't train back up when the line quality improved. I think that this _could_ explain your problem. Can you duplicate the problem under another OS? To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
