Oops, then drop my message. I'm not fluent with anything other than ppp(8). I just read "how to get the if address (most probably for routing corrections / additions) with dyn ips" and confused it with what I have here -- since I could never imagine why I should do PPP in kernel space. Where can I read more about the reasoning to use kernel space ppp except for "doing what I got used to do" or "I don't care, both suffice and one of them is smaller"? What are the advantages? Is it that more efficient in scenarios userland ppp cannot handle any longer? There must be a reason to "buy" the lower functionality ... (no intent to flush isp or to discourage its authors, but the will to learn the motivation) virtually yours 82D1 9B9C 01DC 4FB4 D7B4 61BE 3F49 4F77 72DE DA76 Gerhard Sittig true | mail -s "get gpg key" Gerhard.Sittig@gmx.net -- If you don't understand or are scared by any of the above ask your parents or an adult to help you.
