I have said earlier that I had packet size of 8... Some said that it=20
was unusual, if not outright impossible. Since then, I have worked on=20
my system, and I have even re-installed RH7.2 several times from=20
scratch, re-formatting everything. Yet, I still have that, which I=20
copy from my Thinkpad to this desk pc, using a floppy disk :
lo Link encap:Local Loopback
inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0
UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1
RX packets:8 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:8 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
RX bytes:560 (560.0 b) TX bytes:560 (560.0 b)
However, I must say that my ppp connexion on my ThinkPad now works...=20
somehow... even if it works pretty strangely, and, by all means, bad.=20
But, since that connexion is with another ISP, I will have to=20
subscribe to TP list with that other address (bdebreil@teaser.fr)

Yes, I do have that exact line. I do have it now, anyway, but I can't=20
recall if I always had it.
