Hi, People,
I had to switch from a ADSL to a dial-up connection and I had to change
the settings on my FreeBSD 4.10 box.
After reading The Handbook, I had sucessfully connected to the ISP, but
there are times that the ppp does not work correctly:
- cvsup'ping hangs during the middle of an update,
- fetch'es during a "make install" ports also hangs
I have configured /etc/ppp/{ppp.config,ppp.linkup}, and set /etc/.conf:
ppp_enable="YES"
ppp_profile="provider"
Does anyone have any idea of what is going on?
Feng

Consider using pppd, it has an ability to reconnect to ISP. -ip -- To spot the expert, pick the one who predicts the job will take the longest and cost the most.

But things get complicated when: - in the middle of a download (either through wget or fetch), if I run man <something>, I listen a click, sgnaling that the connection has been dropped. If I watch the log, there is nothing that helps to zero on the cause. - if I try to ssh out to another machine in my local network, the same click is listened. -- Feng Sian <redbrick1 at terra dot com dot br> Linux user #160781
