Date: 17 Jan 1995 15:36:26 GMT Organization: Axis Communications, Sweden Lines: 55 Message-ID: <3fgo5q$pu@roma.axis.se> NNTP-Posting-Host: axisab.axis.se Hello, I believe there is something wrong with FreeBSD-2.0 and ppp. I have tried to use proxyarp without success, do You have any clue what to do with it?. I'm running routed -s and installed the pacth in if_ppp.c but without any luck. All the PPP layers comes up like they should, the negotiation of asyncmaps and IP numbers works but when Im about to use the link it doesnt work! Nothing passes the link, the only thing i am able to get is timeouts using it. I ran tcpdump on ppp0 and it was quiet, there was no traffic over the link! from tcpdumps point of view. Im not shure about this but I recall something from earlier tests that the link works the first time its being used after a reboot, well I have to verify this first to be certain about it. When I have made one of these unsuccesful calls the getty on that port newer reaches the I status ( sorry dont know what it stands for, maybe inactive), it shows up in top and should when first started be sleeping, then running and at last get the "I" status. My getty is alternating between sleeping and running, its consuming some time on every run ( after a few ours a coupple of minutes has been consumed). I cant get the getty to work properly without a reboot. I have tried kill <every known signal in the universe> <pid> with no success. It works normally again after the reboot and I have no problems when running kermit. My config: 486DX/2-66 16 Mram 2 SMC Ultra Ether Cards 2 16550 I start ppp as follows: log in to FreeBSD get my zsh exec /usr/sbin/pppd modem proxyarp crtscts <my_ip_addr>: Thats it folks, what should I do... I will happily keep on testing whatever You come up with. Please help I need PPP... -- Best Regards / Seppo Ruuskanen
