Re: PPPoE
Hmmm, I seem to remember something about another way to do PPPoE... But I've been using ppp's built-in PPPoE support for about a year now. (With Netgraph etc) Simple to set up, works flawlessly. Uses 21% CPU on a 486 DX2-50. -- "Jupiter accepts your offer..." AIM: IMFDUP - Original Message - From: Daniel C.

Could we have these options, please? -f disc:sess The -f option sets the Ethernet frame types for PPPoE discovery and session frames. The types are specified as hexadecimal numbers separated by a colon. Standard PPPoE uses frame types 8863:8864. You should not use this option unless you are abso lutely sure the peer you are dealing with uses non- standard frame types. If your ISP uses non-stan dard frame types, complain! -S service_name Specifies the desired service name. pppoe will only initiate sessions with access concentrators which can provide the specified service. In most cases, you should not specify this option. Use it only if you know that there are multiple access concentrators or know that you need a specific ser vice name. -- Daniel C.

Re: PPPoE
Actually, I believe that the kernel optons are not needed anymore- Or, if you tell PPP to start at bootup in "/etc/defaults/rc.conf" it dynamically loads the netgraph stuff. And btw, does anyone else completely DETEST the "/etc/rc.conf" - "/etc/defaults/rc.conf"? Why can't we just have ONE file, instead of one file, plus an override file? And yah- I set mine up by looking in the handbook, so check there... -- "Jupiter accepts your offer..." AIM: IMFDUP - Original Message - From: Daniel C.

Kernel options are bad for a number of reasons, not the least of them the inability to do network installs (I mean, you have ADSL and get restricted to cd installs?). Anyway... what _are_ the kernel options? -- Daniel C.

Re: One thing linux does better than FreeBSD...
Am I the only one who thinks that he's just too cute? I mean- I view FreeBSD as a potent force that follows it's directives with razorlike precision and bleeding speed. Somehow this is not embodied by a "cute" daemon. I mean he IS a daemon! Come on! I've got a few GD friends, I'll sic them to work on a MEANER version... -- "Jupiter accepts your offer..."
