Thanks for all suggestions so far. I4ll "investigate" it in the evening or some hours (depends to the work). For now I can and will point out the followring: The userland pppd simply just sucks. Sorry but it becomes realy kind of unuseable if you`ve a... "faster" line. I had a 2MBit ADSL-Connection (192kbit/s upload) and had no problem. Now I`ve a 18Mbit line (max, mostly 6-9) and 100kb/s (not kbit) up. What did I noticed? I used the binary-stuff for the only Windows-Mashine I4ve and got: ~8mbit and ~102kb up. With OpenBSD and userland pppoe I just get ~4-5Mbit and max ~12kb upload. I think it`s a huge difference between ~100kb and 12kb and I didn`t know that the userland pppoe sucks so badly. I just wanted to point it out because I exspected a difference but I never belived it would be so huge. I exspect also ~100kb upload using kernel-pppoe (after I managed it int he evening). I wont blame the developers because they offen said the userland pppoe has a lot overhead but that`s simply a bad joke. :-( But I hope the kernel-pppoe will provide me nearly the same bandwith like the Windows-pppoe-Tool. :-) So if you4ve a DSL-connection wich is maybe faster then 4Mbit.. use the kernel pppoe (even I don4t know how good it performs). :) Kidn regards, Sebastian
