Many thanks all, PPPoE has been up since about an hour after that last post. Many replies, one hit it. Asked if ed1 was "up"... "of course it's up," I thought, "I'm not an idiot!" Later, just to make sure, I checked... then, as a what-the-hell, I brought it up with the -arp switch and BAM, suddenly I'm at 1.2M/s. I guess the ARP was causing a problem, but don't understand why it would. Since then (2 days?), I've been fighting with fetchmail, qmail, procmail, natd and ipfw... after archive searches, I consistantly found stupid config errors that an idiot would make (see above), for instance, a day trying to figure out why my email wasn't being transferred to qmail on port 25 by fetchmail, all with working configs from my Slackware disk... all except /var/qmail/users :-) One of the main reasons I've used UNIX-like systems for so long is that, chances are, if the computer doesn't work, it's my fault. (quite different from the Windows world. I have little honest experience there, but the rule seems almost the opposite) I'll keep checking the archives for my problems, and replying with what little I know here. Thanks. I now have no need to reboot into Slackware anymore, I have officially become a minion of the Daemon. Not that Slackware is a bad thing, mind you, I consider it the best of Linux... just that FreeBSD is- -J -- Jonathan Pennington | http://coastalgeology.org Site Manager | Protection and stewardship CoastalGeology.Org (CGO) | through public education. john@coastalgeology.org | Join CGO, make a difference.
