Ah ha :-) You're using a pretty old version of ppp. Ppp has undergone a fairly large face-lift of late. There are a couple of command adjustments, one of which is the "set debug" option - it's now "set log". The latest version of ppp is available from http://www.freebsd.org/~brian, it will understand the above "set log" statement. > OK, here are some more details:- > > Here's one a section of ppp.log.

A lot of the "fighting" that people used to have to do is now overcome. Also, the latest handbook (on www.freebsd.org) has a detailed section and the above archive has a hugely improved man page. Also, as of today, the FAQ has a section (under networking) on ppp. When you download the archive and "make install", the make file shows you a README that describes the changes that may affect your current config. -- Brian <brian@Awfulhak.org>, <brian@FreeBSD.org>, <bri@OpenBSD.org> <http://www.Awfulhak.org>; Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour....
