There is something strange in FreeBSD behaving when I use PPPd. The problem
is: i have PPP server in my work that i can reach via Annex terminalserver,
it works under Linux (:-), what i do now is testing FreeBSD as a low cost
communication server. So:

FreeBSD -----> [Annex] --------> Linux PPP serwer -------> the rest of Internet
        modem          Localnet                   outside  

Both FreeBSD  and Linux use PPPD software.  Everything works just fine as
long FreeBSD connects to other system than FreeBSD. We have SPARC, DEC Alpha
and i can telnet them w/o problems. When I try to telnet or rlogin another
FreeBSD, suddenly echo on my screen slows down: after i enter loginname
(about 5 sec). Could anyone tell me what the hell is going on ????

I started using FreeBSD couple weeks ago and started to replace all Linuxes
i set up with FreeBSD because it seemed to be more serious OS (I work as a UNIX
programmer and sysadmin: using SUN SPARCs and treat PC-UNIX as low cost UNIX
workstations and servers).

Please answer this letter if you have any idea or know what is going on.

Confused
