Using the command 'ppp -?' on FreeBSD 2.05R I get: /usr/home/angelo> ppp -? Usage: ppp [-auto | -direct -dedicated] [system] I'm going to update my dial up Internet connection to a V34 leased line, and I wonder if the '-dedicated' option might be used for that. Is somebody using ijppp to do what I'me trying to? Or should I use good old pppd ? BTW, are there any performance benefits by using either one or the other ? In other words, assuming proper installation already done, what is better over a leased line (so excluding automatic dial-up, ease of configuration and so on...) Thanks in advance for any help. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Angelo Turetta System Administrator - Stylo Multimedia - Italy
