More intelligent? Will lilo work, or do I need (I think it's called) System Commander? [ppp can't detect packet mode start...] >Try adding > >set openmode active > >in your profile.

Sorry I wasn't fully clear on what's going on - slirp doesn't care what I claim my address is - I've tried a bunch of different ones and they all work. What matters is the server address - unless I echo the server IP address back at it, it barfs on the add 0 0 HISADDR line. (This is with a Netcom shell account, if anyone's made this work there. There must be what, 4 of us left?) As always, thanks tons, Doug. -j To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
