I just installed BSDI 2.0 on a 486/66 and put a Digi Board on it so i could 
add about 16 Zoom v.34s.  Shell accounts run fine, but ppp is giving me 
problems.

I followed the instructions in the book, and it works... to a point. After a 
few days, the user can't use ppp anymore ( it disconnects usually).  But when 
I remove his account and remake it, it works!  The only clue that I have is 
that the route for ppp0 or whatever times out after a few minutes of the user 
being connected.

Any Ideas?
