Greetings! We've been happily using Linux as an ip masqueradion firewall from sometime. We've recently upgraded to 2.0.33 for security reasons, and have run into the above problem. The system functions fine for days, when all of a sudden, kerneld gets stuck trying to unload the ppp module, and the following error messages appear in /var/log/kern.log (system Debian 1.3.1): ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jan 30 23:36:52 intech4 kernel: PPP: version 2.2.0 (dynamic channel allocation) Jan 30 23:36:52 intech4 kernel: PPP Dynamic channel allocation code copyright 1995 Caldera, Inc.

Any help would be most appreciated. Thanks! -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Camm Maguire ================================================================== "The earth is one country, and mankind its citizens."
