I'm running ppp on a dual core P4. I'm interested to know what problems you are seeing. I run ppp in demand mode. We use it heavily. I was running it on FC2 with 2.6.10 but now I've switched to CentOS 5 2.6.18.... kernel. In demand mode we have a program that is ran as if-down and if-up. This is because another device can call in and gain the same address as the interface waiting. The program downs the other interface and will up a down interface when ppp dies. It is hard to explain but it makes 2 devices work in demand mode with each other. On Fri, 2008-04-18 at 11:41 -0700, bfc wrote: > I should follow this up for search purposes.
