What actually is the problem? That is, what can the client not do that you want done? Do packets actually flow from the client to your server? There is no way via the PPP protocol itself to set a default route. That has to be done on the client as an action when the link comes up. And since there's no ARP over PPP, the notion of ..0.99 as the default route makes no sense. -- Barney Wolff http://www.databus.com/bwresume.pdf I'm available by contract or FT, in the NYC metro area or via the 'Net.
