Am I also corect in assunming that this will not interfere with the running of ppp in -auto or -ddial mode. In other words adding that line will not cause the ppp connection to behave differently - it will just allow me to access the deamon for stats and checking should I want to. I've finally got this link pretty rock steady, and don't want to trash it. I would like to know however what the line is set up as. speed, protocol, compression etc. Will pppctl give this to me? Or would I be better using a log trace... thanks for any info, Cheers Bob -- http://www.chalmers.com.au. Publications From China in 24 different languages.
