As for not recognizing host names, be sure you have added your PPP hosts thru 
config_dns. This will configure the named files including reverse.db. That 
should take care of that problem. As for the "output stalled" error, are you 
running a Digiboard PC/Xem or something similar? If you are, how many ports 
are you running off of that card?
