Ah, I hadn't noticed there was a port of this for FreeBSD. I'll give it a try, thanks. :)

Hmm, actually this is with a FreeBSD 5.0 (RELENG_5_0) system. The pppoa3 application uses libpthread for its threading implementation; does FreeBSD 5.0 (5.x?) have a different system for threading as well?

We currently have a non-threaded application pppoa2 which performs the task very well, but the newer version pppoa3 uses pthreads (which works fine under Linux, but not under FreeBSD).

Thanks for your help. :)

Cheers,
Jay
