i assume that sl2 is the SLIP interface. anyway, i have SLIP compiled into the kernel (linefill/keepalive=Y). what is module tap0 . . . 15? is this the reason why my connection is being cut off?
any thoughts? ____________________________________ Mac Q. Flores IV mflores@uchicago.edu LinuxPowered 2.2.10 ____________________________________
