Note that the ifconfig output showed the packets as "dropped". Thus, the packets didn't get through. ppp has a CRC checksum in every packet so the chance of a corrupt packet getting through is very slim. TCP has it's own error checking, so you don't need to worry about errors. > On a different, but related, subject, does dselect check the > md5sum of packages when installing? > -- Jens B.
