Check out http://www.FreeBSD.org/FAQ/ppp.html. Your best bet is to
set up a diagnostic socket and attach to it when ppp appears hung.
You should be able to ``set log local physical'' and see any incoming
and outgoing traffic. If there's no incoming traffic, I'd tend to
blame the peer.
> Hi all.
> I have a small network (3 machines) running on 192.168. addresses,
> outside connection is 56K modem. I'm starting both named and userland
> ppp at boottime. ppp.conf is basically the one that gets installed,
> with the enable dns line commented out and the username, phonenumber and
> password set. I then have a cron job that runs fetchmail every 4 hours
> or so to pull down mail. After a time (maybe a day or so), ppp never
> dials out. If I kill -9 and restart it stays ok for awhile again.
> ppp is started with -nat -auto -quiet papchap
> named just resolves my three machines.
> netstat -rn shows the default route pointing out thru tun0.
> ppp.linkdown has an iface clear in it.
>
> ps ax when this is happening does not show anything unusual about ppp.
> kernel has the IPDIVERT/IPFIREWALL and NETGRAPH options in it (I am not
> running natd, I'm letting ppp handle that)
>
> Any suggestions of what to look at greatly appreciated.
