Greetings,

Here's my problem: I'm trying to get PPP working between two systems:
an i386-based system running FreeBSD1.1.5.1 and an SGI Indy running
Irix 5.2.  I've managed to establish a PPP connection between these
systems but for some reason I'm getting "bad FCS" on every IP
datagram (protocol 21) that's sent from the FreeBSD system to the
Indy (as reported by the Indy).  Any ideas on what might be wrong?

TIA,

=Dan Lake
