I don't have any experience with DIP, but I'm guessing its not what you want. Use user-PPP (aka iij-ppp) or kernel ppp (no experience with this) for dialup PPP connections. The handbook describes how to set this up, as does the PPP man page, as does the Pedantic PPP tutorial (http://www.freebsd.org/tutorials). >Second... where does it put itself so that I can add it to my path? Looking into the makefile should show an install path. Or you can do a find / -name dip to find its location. In any case, it should automatically be in your path. I've found logging out and loggin in again is required for a new program in the path to run. >P.S.
