This works great except for one problem. I do have a static IP but not a static router IP. So if I leave the setting like this: set ifaddr 204.157.146.220 204.157.146.83 255.255.255.255 It allows me to use the -ddial option. However the 204.157.146.83 (HISSADDR) number shifts between three different IPS. But if I leave that number at 0.0.0.0 or simply 0, I cannot use -ddial because it claims that -ddial and -auto can only be used when a dest. address is provided. How can I use both 0.0.0.0 for HISADDR and still be able to use -ddial. I am using FBSD 2.1.7 locally for this dialup. Any ideas or clues would be greatly apprecited. Thanks.
