Very Computer

I posted this earlier, and then a resolution. Well the resolution didn't
always work so I've posted again in a fresh thread to see what response
I may get.

I have just installed OpenBSD as a replacement for FreeBSD and am having
some trouble with ppp via tun. I can connect to various ISP's without
trouble, however, when the connection is allowed to timeout something
goes horribly wrong and my /var/log/ppp.log and syslog files fills
*very* rapidly with the following errors (example) :-

syslog =
Dec  8 21:05:35 neutron ppp[30948]: tun0: Error: char_Write:
Input/output error
Dec  8 21:05:49 neutron last message repeated 14042 times

ppp.log (or daemon before I enabled the ppp.log file) =
Dec  8 20:12:39 neutron ppp[30948]: tun0: Error: chat_Write:
Input/output error
Dec  8 20:12:39 neutron ppp[30948]: tun0: Chat: Send: ATZ^M

Has anyone encountered this problem before and solved it ?

/etc/ppp/ppp.conf , /etc/ppp/ppp.linkup & /etc/ppp/ppp.linkdown scripts
available if required.

Linux, use the source luke.
OpenBSD, Strong Crypto.

Hmm, strange.  My experience is the reverse.  I had to install FreeBSD
to use a specific software, and soon I found out how dumb I was to delete
OpenBSD partition.  The problem was; OpenBSD tunnel device worked great
while FreeBSD tunnel device locked up after some large amount of data
transfer.  (And now I'm running dual boot machine with two BSD's.)
Both BSDs seem to pull tunnel device source from NetBSD, and may it is
the time to examine the source, I guess?

Hmm.. I've experienced the same problem in OpenBSD 2.6. PPP in 2.5 worked
great.
I think it's a bug.

My solution: i set up pppd with demand dial.
