I had the joyfull experience of playing with BrokenTransport on a friends
new PowerMac 7200 last night. It worked OK (1.0.7 with FreePPP 1.0) until
the machine would lock solid in Netscpae or Mosaic. Sometime I would get
a system "error 11" after a while, sometimes I had to three finger salute it.
I finally backed down to MacPPP 2.0.1 with MacTCP 2.0.4 and it's working OK.
