We are almost ready for a interim release by the end of the month, should be much easier to install.

I think (I'm not sure, will have to check at home) that the tap1 device in mnf is created by pppoa3, but failing that... I don't remember seing a line saying anything about the tap interface on syslog, as I only found that tap0 already existed by chance. I'll check. --- Jose Bernardo B R Silva | Source Mage GNU/Linux Developer [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://www.sourcemage.org http://counter.li.org #245602 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Liste de diffusion modem ALCATEL SpeedTouch USB Pour se désinscrire : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
