I'm on ver 2.1.0 of FreeBSD with acts as an Email server sending 
mails to the internet through a 14.4k lease line modem on a Pentium
based system with 16550A UART.

One problem. When an email is sent to 2 persons with a zipped file
attachement of > 200KB, the ppp.log would be filled with HDLC errors
and eventually, the ppp would terminate. Anyone knows if there
is something i could fine tune to reduce the error rate, or explain
what's causing the problem?

Thanks!
