Gessner" <mgessner@aristar.com> Newsgroups: comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc Subject: Question re: tun0 and modems Date: Mon, 07 Oct 1996 13:09:06 -0400 Organization: Aristar, Inc. Lines: 18 Message-ID: <32593932.41C67EA6@aristar.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: slip125.winc.com Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: Mozilla 3.0Gold (X11; I; FreeBSD 2.1.0-RELEASE i386) Every now and then, ppp will toss its cookies and completely hang. I can't give exact descriptions on what happens, simply because I have NFI what I could be doing abnormal that would cause it to go nuts (but I do have suspicions that my ISP is the problem). Anyway, when I go to restart ppp, it tells me it can't find the tun0 device, and/or the modem is busy. How can I get around either of these problems? Can I close an open file somehow?
