Multiple tun loadbalancing question

Wed Nov 10 13:17:40 UTC 2010

Ok,

Sorry by the late but yesterday when i went home, 2 of my 3 modems stopped
working.

One of them, provider problem, the other.... mmmmmmmm so strange, i can get
connected in my xp box but no in FreeBSD, lookup deeper i realized that
enumeration of the usb port number has changed.

I change my ppp.conf according to new usr port number but i was not able to
establish de connection, i get NO CARRIER.

It was the time i decided go to sleep.

Well when i get back to my home i will still probing, and let you know how
things are going.

Thank for all your support,

Regards,
Leonardo Santagostini
