It didn't make sense to have it set up that way but ... :) Thanks to David Kelly (dkelly@hiwaay.net) for sharing his options file I found my mistake and was able to get it to work 'correctly' with no routed, and no gateway. Now, how can I set it to disconnect the modem after, say, 5 minutes of idle time?? -- Randall D. DuCharme email: randyd@nconnect.net
