Just wondering if anyone else has this trouble, but if I upgrade from 
1.2.2 to any newer kernels (1.3.4 incl.)  my default route to my PPP 
connection becomes brutally slow.  I don't understand why - I get no 
retransmissions, bad TCP segments etc... just 10% of usual throughput.
Also, 1.3.4 kernel net.a complains about not being able to find "get_int" 
in some PPP debug routine.  Clues?

Also, I've been trying to find out how to alias an ethernet card for 2 
home addresses, ipfw doesn't seem to have the "masquerade" option....

Any help is good help, thanks.
