PPP Problems ...

[freebsd at paldau207.com]

Hi!

I want to use a FreeBSD-Server for my network at home. Now i'm using a Windows-Server but it crashes too often.
I think the connection is slower if i use it in fbsd. Maybe because of the thousands of errors.


Here are some informations:
---------------------------
OS: FreeBSD 5.2.1-RELEASE
Connection: ISDN Flatrate 64kbit/s, Telekom Austria
Modem: Elsa Tango 2000 (external, port com1)

# dmesg | grep "sio"
sio0 port 0x3f8-0x3ff irq 4 on acpi0
sio0: type 16550A

# errors 
sio0: 15 more interrupt-level buffer overflows (total 15)
..
sio0: xx more interrupt-level buffer overflows (total xxxxxx)

# answer from a various mailinglist
It means that the kernel couldn't service the serial port fast enough and
it dropped characters.  If it happens any time you try to send something,
your interrupts may be misconfigured.

# /etc/ppp/ppp.conf
default:
  set log Phase Chat LCP IPCP CCP tun command
  ident user-ppp VERSION (built COMPILATIONDATE)
  set device /dev/cuaa0
  set speed 115200
  set dial "ABORT BUSY ABORT NO\\sCARRIER TIMEOUT 5 \
            \"\" AT OK-AT-OK ATE1Q0 OK \\dATDT\\T TIMEOUT 40 CONNECT"
  set timeout 180
  enable dns

provider:
  set phone "1234"
  set authname "5678"
  set authkey "foo"
#  set login "TIMEOUT 10 \"\" \"\" gin:--gin: \\U word: \\P col: ppp"
  set timeout 300
  set ifaddr 10.0.0.1/0 10.0.0.2/0 255.255.255.255
  add default HISADDR

-----------------------------

i can't find a solution by my own.
