I recently did some quick tests on pppd under -current & 2.2.2. In comparison, the older 2.2.2 pppd *sucks*. pppd 2.3.1 from -current either matched or out-performed user-ppp, and both trod all over pppd from 2.2.2. Try testing against the current user-ppp (upgrade the 2.2.2 box from http://www.freebsd.org/~brian). You can expect at least this performance from pppd on -current (and maybe better). -- Brian <brian@Awfulhak.org>, <brian@FreeBSD.org>, <bri@OpenBSD.org> <http://www.Awfulhak.org>; Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour....
