I decided to try NetBSD and installed it on a Pentium II that had been
running Slackware Linux.

I have  pppd working but it is really slow.
I do have asyncmap 0 in my options
I am running named aka BINDversion 9, and I checked with tcpdump and
there is a lot of
dns traffic I guess I could try using the isp's nameservers, but think
I would prefer running my own.
I'm sure it's not a hardware problem as I had no problems with linux.

I guess if you want to see my ppp setup or anything else I can ftp it
to this WinXP box, I think I finnaly got ftp to work.
Thanks.
