I didn't try them though and only relied on my memory. For 14.17 and 14.23 I didn't really know about the gory details so I just assumed it was correct.. >> I would also add a section about MTU - I expect the dominant use case for PPP is ADSL these days. In this case the MTU is usually limited to 1492 bytes (1500 byte ethernet frame minus PPP framing overhead). If all ICMP is blocked at some part of the link then packet fragmentation doesn't work properly and you end up with symptoms like interactive SSH logins work but bulk SCP or FTPs don't. > > I've added this to http://wiki.freebsd.org/NewFAQs > >> I hope that helps! > > It was very useful - thank you!

BTW I see the serial port section is similarly stale (it still mentions sio instead of uart) and as the wiki page says, it doesn't mention any USB to RS232 adapters (which are likely to be what most people see on modern systems). -- Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer for Genesis Software - http://www.gsoft.com.au "The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from." -- Andrew Tanenbaum GPG Fingerprint - 5596 B766 97C0 0E94 4347 295E E593 DC20 7B3F CE8CReceived on Mon Dec 03 2012 - 04:45:10 UTC
