Use the -direct flag instead. The HUP behaviour of ppp has changed twice recently, it currently exits, but at one point it would just hang up the line. This is probably the version you've got :-( If you want to upgrade and don't use cvsup/ctm, you can get a working copy from http://www.freebsd.org/ ~brian/ppp-2.2-970701.tar.gz. -- Brian <brian@awfulhak.org>, <brian@freebsd.org> <http://www.awfulhak.org>; Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour....
